Done bootstrap.sh and started to emerge system. While building perl-5.6.1-r9 noticed this: <clip> base/if..............ok base/lex.............FAILED at test 7 Failed a basic test--cannot continue. make: *** [test] Error 29 >>> Install perl-5.6.1-r9 into /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r9/image/ category sys-devel </clip> The ebuild won't die on this error but merges the package into /. (Building from stable portage tree so i have gcc 3.2.1 and glibc 2.3.1-r2)
which version of db is this with? (is this even still a problem? i notice you said it did emerge right - does it seem to check out right? perl -v, perl -V both yield appropriate output?)
I have db of version 3.2.9-r1 and no probs with that at least such that I could link with this one. Both perl -v and perl -V worked fine. Now I've emerged perl 5.8.0 since it fixed openjade compilation bug that exists with perl-5.6.1-r9. (Bug #11986) Needed my gnome installed...
