gentoo, emerge problem
I tried to emerge gnotepad+
it said it was masked use emerge gnotepad+-1.3.3 (masked by ~keyword) so I try the -1.3.3 it told me ~specific key requires an operator (package path and name) (try adding an '=')" what does that mean? |
RTFM
It's right in the hand book. :rolleyes: |
Ok maybe I was being to mean. . .
It's masked because it is not fully tested yet. To install masked packages you need to add this to the command: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p foo That will do it for you. . . PS, if you have no clue what the -p switch does. . . RTFM. |
unfortunetaly the mnaual does not have a way to search for a specific thing like this, and after reading through it the past 2 days installing this thing I do not recall seeing it, I am on the emerge handbook page now and a search of text reveals nothing about this, and I have already read the page without any memory of such a thing.

nevermind I found it, on a different page

ok, I read the mnual, I check the /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask file the gnotepad+ is not listed in it according to my own looking and accoridng to a search, also there is no ARCH listen in my error so I am sure it is not that..
on another note I had to create the /etc/portage directory to make the package.unmask file I added =apps-editor/gnotepad+ following the format as I understood it, I still get the same message, any ideas? |
ok, -p is pretend.. but it takes no variable afterwords....
|
ok I did this:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="-86" emerge -p gnotepad+-1.3.3 it still tells me to try and add '=' |
what exactly does it want me to add '=' too?
|
What does
emerge search gnotepad+ Come up with? (the exact output) |
I can't give you exact output, it is on another system cause mozilla failed to compile and I have not gotten to fixing that yet, but here is my best copy-over
applications found 1 app-editors/gnotepad+ [ Masked ] latest version available: 1.3.3 latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 451 kb homepage: http://gnotepad.sourceforge.net/ Description: Gnotepad+ is a simple HTML and text Editor using the GTK+ Text Widget. Liscence: GPL-2 |
I decided not to worry about it for now, if anyone has a siolution I would like to learn how to fix this kind of thing, but for now I simply downloaded the source fromt he homepage and compiled it myself.
