Oops! Part of this misunderstanding is my fault. I failed to notice that the huge log file shows help2man being emerged three times. The first two emerges happen with USE=-nls, but you're right, the last emerge happens with nls enabled. ... and also, it clearly shows that dev-perl/Locale-gettext is emerged before help2man that third time, as well. There's still something weird happening, though. Any ideas why help2man can't find Locale-gettext?

Thank you for clarifying! I tried running the script in both interactive mode and only stage 3, but I got the same error. I found this kind of error has been occurring for a long time and some people solved it by manually unmerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext and sys-apps/help2man, then emerge sys-apps/help2man again. (https://bugs.gentoo.org/432682, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-313901-highlight-help2man.html) Is it possible to solve this error for bootstrapping using the same way?

I ran the bootstrap-prefix.sh script in a different EPREFIX and encountered the same error once again. In this case, the EPREFIX I used is /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP. I tried to figure out why the configure script of help2man is unable to locate the Perl module Locale::gettext. I added "export PERL=/ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/usr/bin/perl" in bootstrap-prefix.sh and ran the bootstrap-prefix.sh script, which should continue to install help2man. This time help2man found the appropriate Perl, it still couldn't locate the Locale::gettext module. I examined the contents of the help2man configure file. It uses the command "perl -mLocale::gettext -e 1" to verify the existence of the Locale::gettext module. While I run it manually , I get this result: $ /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/usr/bin/perl -mLocale::gettext -e 1 Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Locale::gettext module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.38 /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38 /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/5.38).

Ok, thanks, that must mean the perl was built in stage2 and should be therefore rebuilt. (Or Locale-gettext needs to be emerged in stage2.)

(In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #9) > Ok, thanks, that must mean the perl was built in stage2 and should be > therefore rebuilt. (Or Locale-gettext needs to be emerged in stage2.) I added dev-perl/Locale-gettext into the bootstrap_stage2() function: # Build a basic compiler and portage dependencies in $ROOT/tmp. pkgs=( ... dev-perl/Locale-gettext ) After adding this, I executed the script in a new prefix, but I had the same error as before. I checked the log file. During stage2, Locale-gettext was installed at {$EPREFIX}/tmp/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Locale/gettext.pm. Again at stage3, Locale-gettext was installed at {$EPREFIX}/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38/x86_64-linux/Locale/gettext.pm. However, during the configuration of help2man in stage3, the configure log reported: Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Locale::gettext module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.38 /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38 /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux /ocean/projects/sys890003p/xiaoy/gentoo_64_DISRAP_stage2gettext/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/5.38). The @INC paths did not seem to include the correct path to Locale/gettext.pm.
DISRAP seems to suggest you disabled RAP support. If so, please try the latest bootstrap-prefix.sh
(In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #12) > DISRAP seems to suggest you disabled RAP support. If so, please try the > latest bootstrap-prefix.sh Thank you for pointing that out. I did disable RAP support earlier. I tried the latest bootstrap-prefix.sh (commit 10296d4b, 2023-09-11 12:37:44 +0200) as you suggested, and encountered an issue. You can find the details of the bug here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/914006.
