emerge gnome

[Guest]

Is anyone else getting some funky errors when trying to emerge GNOME? I just finished installing Gentoo 1.2, did a <emerge rsync> then I do a <cd /usr/portage/gnome-base> I type emerge gnome and it looks to me like emerge is crashing... here's the output I get

There are the packages that I would merge in order.

Calculating Dependincies /Trackback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", Line 1227, in ?
if not mydepgraph.create(mytype + " " + portage.root +
etc...
and ends with this line

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 'var/cache/ebd/dep/gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1

Does anybody have any idea what's going on? And this only seems to be happening with gnome, KDE, X11 all worked great with emerge.

Thanks!!

can you please post the output of the command:

[Guest]

That is the output from <emerge --pretend gnome>

Anyone got any ideas?

I have this problem too i believe. Here is the output i recieved. I have tried cleaning my tree with the emtytree command and various other things i have discovered rummaging around.. I still can't compile gnome..

Thanks,

I had the same problem here.

then I went to '/usr/portage/gnome-base/control-center'

and 'emerge control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild'

after that I had no Problems emerging gnome.

(and all that only for gnomemeeting

Good Luck

i just tried that..
i went to /usr/portage/gnome/control-center
typed emerge control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild

and got this message

can i disable this from the emerge so i don't have to compile this?

I too tried that same thing and got the same error, odviously I'm not the only one having this problem out there, isn't there someone that knows what's going on, Maybe one of the Gentoo Programmers?

[Guest]

OK, I fixed my little problem. I just went into /usr/portage/gnome-base/controlcenter/ and deleted all of the .ebuild's in that directory and then did an emerge rsync. Some of the files must have just been corrupted, as I'm know compiling gnome.

[jazz...]

deleting all the ebuilds didn't help for me..

i am now getting this message:

emerge --pretend gnome-base/gnome

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

any ideas on what exactly is going on??
i deleted /usr/portage with rm -Rf and did an emerge rsync and still got the same output as listed above...

thanks..

Hi out there,

after I read your answers - I tried to find where the problem is.
Sorry I didn't emerge 'control-center-1.4.0.5-r1.ebuild'
I emerged 'control-center-1.4.0.5.ebuild' and this did for me.

here is the output of emerge -s control-center:
--->
maledictus control-center # emerge -s control-center
[ Results for search key : control-center ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

* gnome-base/control-center
Latest version Available: 1.4.0.5-r1
Latest version Installed: 1.4.0.5

Sorry for waisting your time

Olaf

[jazz...]

any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

i really would like to play with gnome 2 ....
and i don't really want to manually emerge each package...

thanks...
