I just installed gentoo on my dell inspiron 8100 and I really like it. |
| 2 |
I like it so much that I was working towards contributing an ebuild |
| 3 |
for the ltmodem (which, as far as I can tell is not in the tree). I |
| 4 |
managed to create an ebuild script (btw, the docs are wildly out of |
| 5 |
date) by looking at others... but now I am stuck: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
% emerge ltmodem |
| 8 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |
| 9 |
>>> emerge net-dialup/ltmodem-8.22.1.5 to / |
| 10 |
!!! No message digest file found: |
| 11 |
/usr/portage/net-dialup/ltmodem/files/digest-ltmodem-8.22.1.5 |
| 12 |
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a digest. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Ok, so I tried to do what the error message suggested: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
% emerge ltmodem-8.22.1.5.ebuild digest |
| 17 |
Calculating dependencies \!!! doebuild: |
| 18 |
/usr/portage/src/ltmodem/ltmodem-8.22.1.5.ebuild not found. |
| 19 |
portage: aux_get(): (1) couldn't open cache entry for |
| 20 |
src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5 |
| 21 |
(likely caused by syntax error or corruption in the |
| 22 |
src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5 ebuild.) |
| 23 |
emerge: create(): aux_get() error on src/ltmodem-8.22.1.5; aborting... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
what the heck does this mean? why is it looking in /usr/portage/src? |
| 26 |
if anyone can point me at semi-accurate and vaguely uptodate |
| 27 |
documentation that'll get me unstuck, I'd appreciate :-) failing that, |
| 28 |
a hint would be nice. |
