Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge fails with syntax error from
stage3-amd64-openrc-20250216T164837Z.tar.xz
Done this enough times before: Boot the minimal install, create a vm, create
the baseline LV's, mount them along with the slaves (e.g., dev), chroot to
the new system, do the emerges.
Checking the duck didn't get me anywhere; not sure if this is something
well-known or not; if so any pointers to known workarounds would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Hi, I have tried this before and found for what ever reason that my
compiler doesn't work along with a few other issues. I have a current vm
which works just fine and is currently updating as I write.
Using:
install-amd64-minimal-20250216T164837Z.iso
stage3-amd64-openrc-20250216T164837Z.tar.xz
Mount the filesytems then:
cd /mnt/gentoo;
xzcat < stage3-amd64-openrc-20250216T164837Z.tar.xz | tar xf -;
mount --bind for dev, sys, proc, run...
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash --login;
Simple sanity check: Does emerge run at all:
# ls -l $( which emerge );
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 16 17:23 /bin/emerge ->
../lib/python-exec/python-exec2
whatever python-exec might be...
# emerge --version;
