You can always use the prebuilt packages but there is something satisfying when you have a build go forever and actually finishI put Gentoo on a 486 to use as a router. It compiled for a good week. Works great
That was just wrong
/ROFLMAO board Lizard
lol
That was funny.
Oh and the emerge just finished. Now to figure out what I need beside cvs lol.
board Lizard you made my day. I wish my brother's machine was up and running so he could see that. )))
This is a new discovery that will make your life easier.
MY Question is do you NEED KDE for ShowEQ?
I read in one of Ratt's posts that he is using a Stock version of Gentoo...
No you don't but I wanted to try it out and see all the cool things that they have been working on.
My previous post on this topic has more information about what you will need.
emerge libpcap
emerge qt
Probably a ton of other stuff that KDE included in its massive emerge.
Good news is, you can start the make process as outlined in the INSTALL and INSTALL.newbies guide and as it burps you can usually figure out what "emerge xxxxx" you need to do.
So far I'm pretty impressed with Gentoo and the KDE slapped on top of it.
Anyone know if there is a way to graphically browse the packages I could install (pseudo emerge)? I tried the System/KPackage but something seems to be broke as the progress bar never finishes.
(yes I know this isn't a gentoo help desk)

Thank you!!
It is great resource if you have an idea of the package / names you are interested in.
I vaguely remember reading about a list that is held on your machine once you do an emerge sync.... now if I could just find it.
The files you have already installed are stored in /usr/portage/distfiles
There is probably a sexier way to get this listing, but that will work until you delete those files to free up disk space. The distfiles folder can stretch out beyond 1GB if you install lots of packages.
When in doubt,
If you emerge gentoolkit, you get a nice app called qpkg. It's not graphical, but it does let you see what packages are available if you know a keyword you're looking for:
"qpkg -I" will list all installed packages.
"qpkg -U -i vim" will find packages containing "vim" that are not already installed.
It's a nice tool with quite a bit of extra functionality too. I know it's not graphical, but it's a small emerge and probably worth it.
Excellent! thanks!

darn.
after doing :
I'm getting :Code:emerge gentoolkit
Code:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1862, in ? .... File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 980, in spawn os.execve (mycommand,myargs,settings.environ()) OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Have you done an "emerge sync" lately? Try that, and then try getting gentoolkit again. It will make sure your ebuild scripts are all up to date.
