I've been trying to do a 'emerge gnome' but have been unsuccesful. The first problem I encountered was during the installation of PyXML install: `build' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/build: No such file or directory install: `demo' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/demo: No such file or directory install: `doc' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/doc: No such file or directory install: `extensions' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/extensions: No such file or directory install: `mac' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/mac: No such file or directory install: `scripts' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/scripts: No such file or directory install: `setupext' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/setupext: No such file or directory install: `test' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/test: No such file or directory install: `xml' is a directory gzip: /var/tmp/portage/PyXML-0.7/image/usr/share/doc/PyXML-0.7/xml: No such file or directory /usr/portage/dev-python/PyXML/PyXML-0.7.ebuild: src_install failed; exiting. I installed this manually followed by emerge -i python-dev/PyXML-0.7 Then I had problem with metacity...the problem was that emerge couldn't unpack the .gz archive. Again I had to install this manually. The big problem came when emerge came to 'gnome-panel'. This would not compile. I downloaded the package from gnome.org and tried but it didn't seem to get installed properly either....and because of this 'gnome-applets' fails because it can't find 'libpanelapplet'. /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image//usr/share/gtk-doc/html/panel-applet; \ fi) -- Installing ./html/applet-popups.html -- Installing ./html/applet-porting.html -- Installing ./html/applet-writing.html -- Installing ./html/libpanel-applet.html -- Installing ./html/multi-applets.html -- Installing ./html/panel-applet.html -- Installing ./html/panel-signals.html -- Installing ./html/panelapplet.html -- Installing ./html/server-files.html -- Installing ./html/session-saving.html -- Installing ./html/index.sgml make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference/panel-applet' make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference/panel-applet' make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference' make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference' make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc/reference' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc' make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/doc' Making install in man make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make install-man1 make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image//usr/share/man/man1 mkdir /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image/usr/share/man mkdir /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image/usr/share/man/man1 /bin/install -c -m 644 ./gnome-panel-preferences.1 /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image//usr/share/man/man1/gnome-panel-preferences.1 /bin/install -c -m 644 ./gnome-panel.1 /var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/image//usr/share/man/man1/gnome-panel.1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6/man' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.0.6/work/gnome-panel-2.0.6' /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-panel/gnome-panel-2.0.6.ebuild: src_install failed; exiting. I hope this will be of help. This is my first bugreport so I apolagize if I've done it wrong... David Wargert
Is this still a problem ?
