problems with emerge and kile

[ororo]

Hi all,
I have installed Sabayon few days ago.

First of all, I decided to install Sabayon because I was not able installing Gentoo... so, I am interested in using emerge more than entropy or spritz or whatever. Is there any problem in using emerge in Sabayon?

Second problem, I am not able emerging texlive. It seems that some files are shared with some other packages:

Code: Select all

 * package dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2008-r1 NOT merged
 *
 * Detected file collision(s):
 *
 *    /usr/bin/latex
 *    /usr/bin/pdflatex
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 *
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 *
 * None of the installed packages claim the file(s).
 *
 * Package 'dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2008-r1' NOT merged due to file
 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.


But of course the files /usr/bin/latex and /usr/bin/pdflatex are not installed on my system.

those files are not on your system? are you sure?

Ops! you are right, they do exist:

Code: Select all

However, they are broken links. I dont' know why they're there. I dont' have etex, nor pdfetex installed. Can I just delete such links?

remove this
/usr/bin/latex
/usr/bin/pdflatex

and re-run emerge.
