• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description INODE64 Sistemas 2013-12-30 17:58:52 UTC]

See the actual error to compile:

>>> Emerging (1 of 6) sys-devel/automake-1.10.3
 * automake-1.10.3.tar.bz2 SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...          [ ok ]
 * This profile has not been tested thoroughly and is not considered to be
 * a supported server profile at this time.  For a supported server
 * profile, please check the Hardened project (http://hardened.gentoo.org).

 * This profile is merely a convenience for people who require a more
 * minimal profile, yet are unable to use hardened due to restrictions in
 * the software being used on the server. This profile should also be used
 * if you require GCC 4.1 or Glibc 2.4 support. If you don't know if this
 * applies to you, then it doesn't and you should probably be using
 * Hardened, instead.
