Hi guys!
I am seraching for this neat program rdev. I tried emerge --search rdev and emerger --searchdesc rdev, but I could not find it. In which package is this program hidden? |

| Code: | equery b rdev
sys-apps/util-linux |
It's part of the core system, since it manipulates the kernel directly.

You already have it - that's what equery does.
Are you running this as root ?
You'd better.
BTW, a single executable inside a package can't be masked - only an entire package can.

Something is wrong here.
| Code: |
me@hasnoname ~ $ su -
Password:
hasnoname ~ # equery
-bash: equery: command not found
hasnoname ~ # rdev
-bash: rdev: command not found
hasnoname ~ # uname -a
Linux hasnoname 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 #11 SMP Sun Sep 25 23:10:04 CEST 2005 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
hasnoname ~ # echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.3:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/kde/3.4/sbin:/usr/kde/3.4/bin
|
Maybe I did something wrong during the installation, I am totally confused 
How can I install rdev and what is equery? |

You cannot install rdev - it is part of the core system package util-linux; if that were missing the system wouldn't even boot.
Equery is part of portage; if that is missing - really missing - then something is definitely b0rked.

I also think the same, but I'm not too sure.

Yep! equery is definitely in gentoolkit. Thanks.
Still missing rdev.

hasnoname ~ # equery b rdev

Neither a /usr/sbin/rdev, nor anywhere a file yclept.
I mean, I helped myself and copied rdev from gentoo, but this is a 32 bit program, and I would like the 64 bit version  |
