Like below says (after an attempt of "emerge libxml") : >>> md5 ;-) libxml-1.8.17.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking libxml-1.8.17.tar.gz >>> Source unpacked. /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: configure: command not found !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 6, Exitcode 127 !!! (no error message) !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/dev-libs/libxml/libxml-1.8.17-r2.ebuild . I may be way off here, or really stupid, but I've tried everythin, asked everyone, and final stage is to report it as a bug I guess.
my fault. I was cleaning up ebuilds, and removed the ./ sorry about that. fixed in portage.
