Gentoo Kernel Installation problem
As a newbie, I've tried to get more familiar with Linux by trying to install gentoo. I've tried to emerge the kernel sources, typing: "emerge -k sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" and groff-1.19-r2 downloads correctly, but the emerge always fails. The output is:
Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' has no attribute 'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL'

Failed to write to mtimedb: 'module' object has no attribute 'HIGHEST_PROTOCOL'
So, my kernel install has failed until I can get past this groff error and mtimedb error. (ALL the groff patches in the above code were [OK]) As a side note, this mtimedb error has occurred numerous times throughout the system compilation. Any ideas on what to do?
