OSX emerge problems

[donni]

I'm a n00b so here we go......

So after installing the portage port for OSX, getting confused, using a perl script from http://dev.gentoo.org/~alexander/files/uninstall.pl...


So I download the portage DMG file for another go at the install, I run the OSX installation, type in "/usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-macos.sh"

then I use the directions at this site "http://www.wonderwarp.com/alex/tipiwiki/index.php?wiki=GentooForMacOS"

When I get to the EMERGE WORLD/SYSTEM command , the first two packages install fine until I get this error




Code:

G4:/Users/Donni root# emerge system

FEATURES="-collision-protection"
command but I get the same message.....whaaattt dooooo IIIIII doooooooo??? BTW does anyone know if AIRPWN works on portage?

Someone made a typo on the Wiki, its actually collision-protect not collision-protection

[donni]

thanks that really helps... Since it is a fresh install...its not going to fuck up anything on my osx partition...right?

Bit confused here... Why do you have to run the bootstrap-macos.sh script?

I've just installed it using the instructions here:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_MacOS

No mention of bootstrapping, And I just emerged unrar with no problems (chosen because its simple) and its running perfectly.

The problem I'm having at the moment is that /etc/portage/package.provided isn't working

Ideas anyone?
