 Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2002 10:43 pm Post subject: /etc/make.profile isn't available |
 |
|
I am at the step where I just chroot'ed and am told to run env-update. When I did so, I got this:
| Quote: | >>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld/so.cache... |
Is that bad, and why is /etc/make.profile not there? Is it supposed to be? |

It's created when you 'emerge sync'. It's not a big deal at all as long
as you sync your portage dir.

Regarding the /etc/make.profile isn't available" message when running env-update per step 9 of the Installation Instructions:
If this is such a common occurrence, can I make a suggestion that it be mentioned in the Installation Instructions?
I also receive this error when I move on to the next step (#10):
emerge sync.
I understand that this file might not exist until emerge sync has been run, but either the instructions should give a heads-up, or the error message should be a little more helpful. The user is left wondering: should I run emerge sync now, or wait until I get to the next step?
Now, if I could just get my PC to finish bootstrap.sh without hanging... |

g'day,
happy new year to all.
when trying to install 1.4rc1 from the live cd i get the same error message. "etc/make.profile not available." i have the stage 3 tarball. why isn't make.profile available?
"an emerge sync will probably fix this" doesn't work for users doing this via 56k modem. at the point where i want to install wvstreams, wvdial, ppp etcetera to complete the installation and do an emerge sync, they will not build because there is no make.profile available! i think this is described as a "catch 22" situation.
how does one go about overcoming this?
56 modem installations do not get much coverage really. the only ppp install doc in tips & tricks is out of date. could we have an official ppp install doc? i would be happy to help.
regards,
trooper |

hi,
i was getting the same error about /etc/make.profile as the other guys did. the problem was, when i run emerge sync, it gave me the following errors:
>>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this.
>>> starting rsync with rsync:://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(97)
what can I do regarding this? please help...
i really want to try gentoo...[/b] |

You either have no network, no/broken /etc/resolv.conf, or the nameserver(s) listed in your /etc/resolv.conf aren't functioning properly.
What does your /etc/resolv.conf say?

i received the same message:
>>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld/so.cache...
as it said, emerge sync will fix this, i went on with >>emerge sync.
thats what happened:
>>> starting rsync with rsync:://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
that was 20minutes ago...as i can ping websites, i am connected, so...
does it take so long or is it stopped??
as its 90mb, maybe its already downloading, but doesnt show status... lets see. |

i dont see where the mystery is. it clearly states that an emerge sync should probably fix this. and obviously, the next step says "emerge sync". so why would the user be left wondering?
honestly, people....

Are you behind a firewall? If so, you probably don't have access to
use rsync. You can grab a portage snapshot from here.
Once you're all set, you can emerge gentoolkit and use emerge-webrsync
instead.
If you don't see a second line come up after the starting rsync line,
it's probably not working.
| Code: | # emerge sync
>>> starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
rsync://rsync5.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage

@rtn:
thx a lot, that was exactly the problem. i install gentoo on my laptop, that is connected to my pc, that connects to the internet.
forgot to shut down the firewall on my pc.
now the emerge sync worked fine. 
i am going on to install all the packages... emerge -u world..
although seems to take a while

g'day,
well, despite all the good advice and fixes for this problem for network users, the problem of the missing make.profile still stands for a dialup ppp user.
please scroll up and read my previous post and put an old man out of his misery with some help.
any (nice) suggestions anyone? heavy sighs don't help kraylus.
being a ppp dialup user on gentoo is like being the poor relative. perhaps the social contract needs a workover! are not all users equal?
regards,
trooper |

thanks rtn!
now, on to emerge sync!  |

It worked for me after followed the instructions in step 9.1:
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
So far I had been good but I just read over that line. |
