Arch is not set (Gentoo 2004.2) ?
Hi i'm trying to install gentoo 2004.2. Everything went correctly until i have to do this
Code:
emerge gentoo-dev-sources It gives me the following error: ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink ? Is the symlink correct? Is your portage 3 complete? So i opened the make.profile file, and it was empty . Tried going back in the manual and redo everything resulted in the same error. Can anyone help me fix this error ? |
make.profile is NOT a file... its a symbolic link to a directory....
for example on my system (a 32 bit PC) its a symbolic link to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-2004.2 have a look in the /usr/portage/profiles directory for the architechture that matess your machine and add a symbolic link... ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/whatever /etc/make.profile however im not sure wether or not your system will have been dameger by getting this far without a profile set. did you start from stage 1 2 or 3 ? |
ARCH is not set
I ran into this same problem when installing Gentoo 2004.3.
After some poking around I realized I simply left off the "-C /mnt/gentoo/usr" switch when extracting the portage snapshot. Simply returning to this step in the install and correcting the mistake fixed it. (section 5.d in the PPC install handbook). |
