Re: [gentoo-doc] Suggestion regarding compile order when emerging system

[George Hedfors]

Well no, but I did this change before doing the actual bootstrap. I
followed the quick install guide and made changes to make.conf, then
completed bootstrap.sh and started emerging the system. Thats when it
happend. As there is a stage-installed perl version, when the library
tried to compile, it used the present perl version as it was dependent
on it. However, as the stage-installed version did'nt work with my
changes, i had to manually upgrade perl before i could emerge the rest
of the system. I'm sure other people will have the same problem and to
solve this, one way would be to reinstall perl somewhere in the very
beguinning of emerge system.

I'm just a stupid user trying to make life easier for others :).

Thanks, George.
