I was compiling Gentoo from stage1, the bootstrap went well, the emerge system stopped after few packages, more accurate at sys-apps/helpman-1.33.1. I was compiling Gentoo today: 13-05-2006 with the latest portage. I've tried to solve by doing emerge gettext and emerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext, but this didn't worked. Thanks for you help and your time in advance. Here is my emerge --info and the log of the issues: -first the problem log: This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

Sigh. Exactly why we don't recommend or support stage1 installs...

Thanks, I didn't noticed that bug, excuse me for this waste of your time.
