| Code: | # emerge gentoo-sources
!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete? |
I am a bit lost. I am not understanding why this coming up when I have followed every step that is listed in the handbook.

or he's doing a stage1 install.
You'll need to link to the new profile. Look in /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ and cd into the arch you use and link it to /etc/make.profile. Also you can be more specific and specify "desktop" or "server".
| Code: | /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ppc/200???/desktop
e.g
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ppc/200???/server |

Yeah, but he's following the handbook. Stage 1 isn't in the handbook.

I might have syntax error in my make.conf well Hmmmmm nope . just to add to the fun I am lost my place in a panic. so Hmmmmm so..... what should... do!! should I go ahead and hit reboot or what???
I came home work and I sat down in fornt of my god. and type | Code: | | # nano -w /etc/make.conf |
and found that there was a space Like this | Code: | | CFLAG=" -athlon64 -msse3 -O2 -pipe" |
which it should be with out a space. | Code: | | CFLAG="-athlon64 -msse3 -O2 -pipe" |
BUT i got the same error message, lost my place in some where in the file trees. its seem i can't do anything but chapter 6

It is OK to have a space there, but you have some other typos. It should look like this :
CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -msse3 -O2 -pipe"
As far as your original error goes, "ARCH is not set" is caused by a missing portage tree. |

What do you see when you look in the portage tree ?
| Code: | # ls -l /usr/portage
# ls -l /usr/portage/profiles |

You should be seeing a lot of directories (one for each package category).
If you are seeing symlinks instead, then something went wrong. |

emerge --metadata if your portage is there it will do this and update portage cache
then ls -l /usr/src/linux should show the kernel you will have.
if it doesnot work download latest snapshot and install it as in the install doc.

I am sorry but, I have done that step meny of times. Think might the issue all together is. When I went to down load the stage tar ball and I would get an error with this command | Code: | | # md5sum -c stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS |
afterwards it would error out. Will post error message when I get it, and this would do the same for the snapshot so... This is the reseaning that tonight MST 1900 hoours i wll reboot and start over   I am just trying to salvage what i have done already. Oh.. yea I what to back up my make.conf how would I do that? I would place floppy in a drive and save?? and how i format the floppy?? Does formatting needs to be done??

if the floppy already has a format, no.
mount a floppy with mount /mnt/floppy or something then backup your important config files |

to use the line "md5sum -c stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS" you need to download two files first:
the first being the stage-3 tarball itself, and the second is the DIGESTS file (it's on the server too, same directory as you go the tarball), once downloaded make sure they're in the same directory and then run the command.
I.E. when you do ls -l stage3* you should see something like:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1478408 Jul 6 23:42 stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Jul 6 23:41 stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS
(note: the file size for the stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2 is incorrect in my example, this is because I didn't download all 120MB (I stopped after about a MB or so)
you can then run md5sum -c stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS and if everything is OK, then you're good to go, if not you'll get something like this:
stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksum did NOT match
A passing example of the md5sum (using portage since those files are smaller):
# md5sum -c portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum
portage-latest.tar.bz2: OK |
