On a x86 machine running Linux version 2.6.20-gentoo-r6, I tried emerge texlive-latexextra. The response began with [Errno 7] Argument list too long: /bin/bash -c touch "/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__" 2>/dev/null ; rval=$? ; rm -f "/usr/portage/distfiles/.__portage_test_write__" ; exit $rval and ended with /usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp -O /usr/portage/distfiles/texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/distfiles/texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma !!! Couldn't download 'texlive-module-achemso-2008.tar.lzma'. Aborting. Doing "emerge -f texlive-latexextra" produced a similar failure. A related problem was discussed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262647 Although that bug is classified as "fixed", I'm still stuck. Suggestions for emerging texlive-latexextra would be greatly appreciated. John
