Hi. I was installing Gentoo from stage 1. I got as far as
Code:

# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh



My machine ran for about 1.5 hours. Then, all of the sudden, I got a compile error. What should I do, run the portage again...or reinstall?

Thanks
:?:

Update:

Here is the error message:
Code:


** BFD does not support target i586-pc-none.
**Look in bfd/config.bfd for supported targets
make...[configure-opcodes] Error



I do have a Amd k6 -- i586 processor, so is that the problem? Or am I doing something else wrong?

dump your make.conf and portage settings 'emerge info' here.

Your CHOST variable in make.conf is probably wrong.
Try CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
or CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Well, that would make sense! I just had =i586 not the -pc-etc. etc.! Thanks!
