[gentoo-user] Problem while doing `emerge --emptytree system'

[Jason Castonguay]

Hi listers.

I'm in the process of installing gentoo for the first time and am now in
the process of going from stage 2 to stage 3.  I am trying to do

emerge --emptytree system

It seems to be fine until it gets to installing openssl (14 of 186) apps
to be installed.  The process stops and says that perl 5 is required.
This is understandable, but I thought emerge was supposed to be "aware" of
this sort of thing and install apps in the correct order.  I did a

emerge --pretend --emptytree system |less

and perl 5 is there, but further down the list of things to be installed
(after openssl).

What should 	 do?  Install perl separately?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much.


Best regards,
