new and frustrated

[buddhalands]

hey all,

I'm not new at linux but am new at sabayon and have toyed with gentoo but not much. I am trying to install miro following this howto: http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php? ... to_Entropy

however when i begin to mkdir /usr/portage/local/layman/customebuild

i realize that I do not have a /usr/portage/local directory at all and hence no conf file there either.

what did i do wrong in installing layman that I don't have the directory structure set up?

thanks

Caleb

Before using an actual manual ebuild, did you try to search if it is
available without doing it?

Try:

Code: Select all

emerge -s miro


to search for that package in Portage.

wow, i feel like an idiot, i searched or so I thought. now i'm just getting some compiling errors, i think i can at least sort that out.


thanks

[buddhalands]

ok so using emerge i end up with the same error i get when trying to manually compile

pkg-config --list-all outputted the following error:
Variable 'pm_libdir)/power.d' not defined in '/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/pm-utils.pc'


Any clue

Do you mean that you have now solved your problem? If yes, please click on the EDIT button in your first post and append " [Solved]" to the Subject text.

Why, and how to add "[Solved]" to your post. Please read.

And if possible, try to provide the solution explicitly, doing so could
help many users with that problem

We provide miro ebuilds on overlay, if they have issues let me know. They are probs in entropy too.
