Dracut needs fts development files

[drainer333]

I've got to the section in the guide where I am trying to install the kernel and I know I've done everything right so far however this dracut thing will not work. I've done exactly what it says. I've put "sys-kernel/installkernel dracut" in /etc/portage/package.use/installkernel and added sys-kernel/installkernel and dracut to my USE flags but nothing works. When I try to look up the errors I'm either getting irrelevant results or no results at all so it seems I'm the only one who's encountered this error.

Any tips on where to start looking for what I'm doing wrong? I've restarted this installation several times now and it's always this step that goes wrong. I'm pulling my hair out over it cause I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

thanks in advance

to be more specific the exact error I get is

dracut needs fts development files

and

Failed to run command: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --bashcompletiondir=/usr/share/bash-completion/completions --systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system

If you want further help, please post the entire build.log (to a paste site if it won't fit in a post) and, if relevant, the config.log.
Both locations are mentioned in the output.
