I tried two things: starting over as you suggested, and following the |
| 29 |
os-x instructions from step 1.6, and starting over again following the |
| 30 |
os-x instructions from the beginning, (except I replaced the |
| 31 |
linker/compiler flags with those from the linux instructions). Both |
| 32 |
attempts failed after the first line of listing 1.8. |

$ emerge --oneshot coreutils |

This is getting frustrating. Can I anticipate many more of these kinds |
| 47 |
of situations? I have a fairly typical ubuntu gutsy installation (all |
| 48 |
the non-supported sources are enabled, but otherwise everything is |
| 49 |
factory equipment =P). Am I in uncharted territory? Or, is there a more |
| 50 |
robust means of getting portage bootstrapped? |
