Hello I am building a linux AP using a clean installation of gentoo and this howto:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Building_a_Wireless_Access_Point_With_Gentoo Everything was going great until I came to emerging bridge-utils. the actual emerging didnt fail (using "emerge bridge-utils -av") but typing the command brctl it tells me '-bash: brctl: command not found' next I try "whereis brctl", resulting in: brctl: /usr/man/man8/brctl.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/brctl.8.gz ok, so the man files are there, it seems the package was installed. but no binary. Using "find / -name brctl" i also got nothing. It seems that there is no binary, I have tried emerging again, unmerging, updating and the like, still the same problem. The emerge itself doesnt fail with the usual "Error..." so I presume thats fine (or am i wrong that emerge would halt on all errors?) Any help appreciated as I am somewhat at a loss as to whats going on. thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
