Description Eino Gourdin 2007-02-05 12:35:13 UTC
I try to install ser, on a new clean gentoo machine, and the installation process fails after a minute or two.

those are the last few lines from the installation process

install  -m 644 README /var/tmp/portage/ser-0.9.0/image//usr/share/doc/ser-0.9.0
sed -e "s#/etc/ser/ser\.cfg#/etc/ser/ser.cfg#g" \
                -e "s#/usr/sbin/#/#g" \
                -e "s#/usr/lib/ser/modules/#/usr/lib/ser/modules/#g" \
                -e "s#/usr/share/doc/ser/#/ser-0.9.0#g" \
                < ser.8 >  /var/tmp/portage/ser-0.9.0/image//usr/share/man//man8/ser.8

                < ser.cfg.5 >  /var/tmp/portage/ser-0.9.0/image//usr/share/man//man5/ser.cfg.5

It's a new gentoo server, with almost nothing installed, except an apache and a mysql.
