Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: simple question about installing chromium browser for use in debian OS using gentoo prefix..

[Michael Fothergill]

Many thanks for the suggestions and advice again.

Chromium has emerged and has been installed.

I added the video card and input device entries to the gentoo prefix
make.conf file.

I ran the source and env updates.

Then I emerged x11-base/xorg-server.

It chuntered away through 15 of the 23 packages grumbling about there being
no kernel in /usr/src/linux which I ignored.


It then failed trying to emerge the input device package dev-libs/input:

* Messages for package dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2:

 * ERROR: dev-libs/libinput-1.13.2::gentoo failed:
 *   Aborting due to QA concerns: there are files installed outside the
prefix

Suggestions on a cure here would be appreciated.
