Re: [gentoo-alt] Emerge Zsh on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Ke,

I ran into that error when I tried to bootstrap on a Snow Leopard install a year ago or so.  In the end I gave up and went back to using an older prefix build that I made while using either Leopard or Tiger (I can't remember which).  This was using a 17" MacBook Pro with the all silver keyboard and XCode 3-something.

I recently bootstrapped again on a MacBook Pro with the removable battery and the black keyboard and either XCode 4.4.0 or 4.4.1, I can't remember which.  This was a couple of weeks before Fabian overhauled the bootstrapping script.  There were a couple of hangups, but I ended up with a working bash and zsh.  The versions that I have are: bash-4.2_p10 and zsh-5.0.0.  Note that bash-4.2_p29 failed to emerge during the bootstrap and so I masked it.  I'd try emerging a different version of bash and then retrying the zsh emerge.

Hi everyone,

This is my first time to use gentoo prefix on Mac OS. My friend has been recommending it to me for a long time.

The installation took a while but all went well. I used this script to install gentoo prefix on Mac: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/scripts/bootstrap-prefix.sh?format=txt

However, when I was trying to install zsh, the compile of zsh kept failing.

The command I used is simply "emerge zsh", but I got the following error msg over and over:

Anyone knows the possible reason for this and how should I make it work?

Thank you for your time
