 |
|
I would like to compile my eagle-usb-1.9.6 driver to install it.
I've just finally installed my gentoo (after several months problems).
When i launch compilation, i get this message error:
"your $PATH does not contain /usr/local/sbin. You won't be able to launch scripts. If you are using bash, you should update /root/.bashrc ".
I've tried to add $PATH =' /usr/local/sbin' in /root/.bashrc, but it causes shell problems, so it's not a good idea. But I've seen similar $PATH (not exactly /usr/local/sbin but /usr/sbin in /root/profile. Do i have to modify this key?
Or is it only dued to the eagle-usb driver which is not compatible with gentoo? 'Cause i used to use it on Mandrake and mepis.
How can i emerge eagle usb driver if i have no internet connexion (vicious cercles...?  )
Can i find gentoo eagle-usb drivers not needing internet dial-up? |

Add the following to your ~/.bashrc
| Code: | | export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/sbin" |
This simply appends /usr/local/sbin to your current path, so you don´t mess up with your shell.

There is no such thing as "not compatible with gentoo" because gentoo uses the same kernel and the same software as every other distribution does.

Sorry, I don´t know anything about the eagle usb driver, but why don´t you simply download it to your home directory and compile and install it manually, as long as there is no ebuild (and I haven´t found one in portage).
As for emerging without internet connection:
You can download the needed source code to your DISTDIR (defined in /etc/make.conf) either manually or by using
| Code: | | emerge -f <packages> |
and then later emerge it. Portage will see the file is there and you won´t need an internet connection.
As a sidenote: I searched for eagle on bugs.gentoo.org and found this. So it´s for sure possible to use this driver

Just a little comment.. The eagle-usb driver (which I'm maintenor of) has an ebuild (which I'm the author of).
I wrote an "howto" but it was in French. If you need it I probably can translate it .. Just contact me
Usually to install it people get the ebuild and the driver from either a windows partition or another "already working" system, copy them where it needs to be, and install them.
An alternative way is to boot using for example the http://www.sysresccd.org/, which already includes a version of the driver and a script to automatize connection. From there you can then install the gentoo ... |
