i installed gentoo last weekend (running on an Apple TiBook, PPC processor), and now catch up with installing all the apps i am using. xemacs is one of them. so i tried to "emerge xemacs" which started downloading the package, and then NExT_xemacs.tar.gz. unpacked both. and then told me that the value of $EPATCH_SOURCE does not exist (it pointed to emodules.info-21.4.8-gentoo.patch in the tmp portage tree. sorry for the rather sparse info, but i haven't set up the porper net apps yet. will do so tonight.
I managed to resolve this by commenting out lines 70-72 in /usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.15.ebuild. It was attempting to apply a patch file that did not exist.
Created attachment 33146 [details] Updated ebuild file Commented out lines 70-72 in the ebuild file so that it does not reference a non-existant patch file.
ok, i will try that in a second. just thought that it would be good to post the actual output... root@tigger:~> emerge xemacs Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) app-editors/xemacs-21.4.15 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) xemacs-21.4.15.tar.gz >>> md5 src_uri ;-) NeXT_XEmacs.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking xemacs-21.4.15.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/xemacs-21.4.15/work >>> Unpacking NeXT_XEmacs.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/xemacs-21.4.15/work * Applying emodules.info-21.4.8-gentoo.patch...
