Portage on Solaris (Nexenta amd64 opteron) ARCH is not set

Hi,

I want to install portage on Nexenta Alpha 7 (2x amd64 opteron 275) but I get as far (in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml guide) as entering:
emerge --oneshot "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*"

and get:

root@server:/export/home/ecstasy# emerge --oneshot "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*"

!!! /root/gentoo/etc/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges.
!!! It should point into a profile within /root/gentoo/usr/portage/profiles/
!!! (You can safely ignore this message when syncing. It's harmless.)

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

I don't have a /root/gentoo/etc/make.profile

Do I need a snapshot? Where do I get one?

can anyone help?

e

Moved from Gentoo on AMD64 to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures.

[mod]This is not an AMD64 issues, but instead a Gentoo-ALT issue. Thus, I've moved this thread to GAA.[/mod]

Don't know to what extent the prefix branch differ from mainline portage. Anyway, ${EPREFIX}/etc/make.profile must be a symlink to a valid profile directory, which in your case should probably be something under ${EPREFIX}/usr/portage/profiles/default-prefix/sunos/solaris/. As far as I can tell, the bootstrap-prefix script should download a snapshot automatically.

Also, I suspect having /root/gentoo as your ${EPREFIX} might not be the best idea if you want to run stuff installed via portage as a non-root user.

Thanks but I get the same error. I don't think a snapshot was downloaded.

root@server:/export/home/ecstasy# ln -s /root/gentoo/usr/portage/profiles/default-prefix/sunos/solaris/5.10/x86/make.defaults /root/gentoo/etc/make.profile
root@server:/export/home/ecstasy# emerge --oneshot "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*"
!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

My make.defaults contains:

ARCH="x86-solaris"
CHOST="i386-pc-solaris2.10"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86-solaris"

How would I bootstrap for a non root user? Do I have to delete /root/gentoo only?

As I said, make.profile should point to a directory (e.g. /foo/../5.10/x86), not a file. As for bootstrapping for non-root users, ${EPREFIX} needs to be accessible for non-root users; /root/gentoo typically isn't.

wow thanks it worked.

I now get

root@server:/export/home/ecstasy# emerge --oneshot "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*"
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/sed-4.1.4-r1 (masked by: ~x86-solaris keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Do you know where to look/what to do for this?

Thanks. I've created a package.keywords in /root/gentoo/etc/ with =sys-apps/sed-4.1.4-r1 ~x86-solaris in but still get error,

should be $ROOT/etc/portage/package.keywords, not $ROOT/etc/package.keywords.

(Maybe you have it right, but I can't tell from what you wrote. Worth checking.)

edit: typo

YES. It worked, thanks

there was something earlier about updating cfg files:

Please upload the /root/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.2.0/temp/build.log file somewhere on the Internet and put a link here. If you can't do that, please attach the relevant sections here.

I've done a clean nexenta install.

Where's the best place to install the prexfix for a non root user?

update
I installed into my home dir but had used a root shell and locked the files. I fixed it with
