Hi

You can Install subversion from entropy

Code: Select all

# equo install dev-vcs/subversion

I suggest you to run

Code: Select all

equo libtest

'couse /usr/lib64/libexpat.la' is not a valid libtool archive seems broken

then retry adding overlay.

Bye

I'm trying to run a system that uses only portage but I took your suggestion and it worked fine. I'm now rebuilding it with:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world. Does this sound like an acceptable procedure?

Code: Select all

grep: /usr/lib64/libexpat.la: No such file or directory

Look at the error message. Did you check why /usr/lib64/libexpat.la did not exist?

On the machine I'm typing this (which is running 32-bit Linux, hence no "lib64", only "lib"):

Code: Select all

fitzcarraldo@gateway9300 ~ $ eix -I expat
[I] dev-libs/expat
     Available versions:  2.0.1-r3
     Installed versions:  2.0.1-r3(22:10:48 30/03/11)
     Homepage:            http://expat.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         XML parsing libraries

fitzcarraldo@gateway9300 ~ $ locate libexpat
/usr/lib/libexpat.a
/usr/lib/libexpat.la
/usr/lib/libexpat.so
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.2

Installing dev-libs/expat would probably have done it.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I did indeed expat but it yielded the same results.
