Hi,

I tried to emerge 'latex2html', but I got following error message:
Code:

>>> md5 src_uri ;-) latex2html-2002-2.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Thanks!

To me it looks like a perl problem. You might want to upgrade to perl 5.8.4 and see if it works after that.

Hello,

I confirm that an upgrade in perl (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge perl) resolves the problem (the version that you should emerge is perl-5.8.5). After that latex2html was emerged straighaway and lyx too (version 1.3.4).

Thanks! I emerged perl 5.8.5 last night, and it did solve the problem. But during the emerge perl 5.8.5, a lot of tests were failed.

T.

Should that "~x86" have been an "~amd64" ?
