 missing files Hi, I am working through installing 1.4RC4 . Mostly going well. Have twm basic X and spent the day (partially) emerging kde. After about 8hrs of chugging away it dropped out because libsdl-1.2.5-r1 was missing. It tried to download but because the system is not setup yet there's no internet. (In any case my dial up its not possible apart from the odd file , that's why I am using a LiveCD.) Assuming this is just an odd file where do I need to put the files so it can continue? I will find them on another CD or download with my win98 installation that I am using now. I have already tried to do this with wvdial but apparently am missing something about how and where portage and ebuild functions. I expect to get a tarball *.tbz2 , untar it somewhere and restart emerge kde. Does that make sence? Where is the somewhere in question? Thanks for any advice.      |

| Re: missing files Run "emerge -fp libsdl". That will give you a list of files that need to be fetched so that the package libsdl can be built. Use another machine to fetch those files from a Gentoo mirror. Stick them in the folder /usr/portage/distfiles. Once you do that you should be able to emerge libsdl.

Seems like the CD I got is missing a whole bunch of stuff. I am now battling to get ppp set up on gentoo so it can spend a week filling in the gaps with my dialup connection. I was hoping to get a working gui with a few tools to help but it looks like I will have to do it the hard way. Looks like I will be a Linux guru by the time I get a working sys but at least it will save time later. Thanks.. |

| Re: missing files You do realize that there is currently more than 20 GB of source for packages that can be installed, right? There is no way that you can install everything from a single CD, or even DVD. The best thing for you to do if you have a slow or non-existant internet connection at home is to take your machine somewhere else where the connection is faster and then to run "emerge -f <package name>" where package name is the program you want to install (in this case, KDE). This will download all the source files needed for that program and all dependancies.
