Hi, I'm trying to do a stage 1 installation. I've followed all the instructions on the handbook, having performed (aparently) the bootstrap successfuly. But while emerging system, it failed during one of the packages stating that autoconf was not installed. Emerging autoconf --nodeps failed because it requires automake. Automake on turn requires perl. Perl required libperl. Finally I installed libperl, and attempted to install perl now. It needs libgdbm. So I installed it. So far, this is where I've come now, it is currently attempting to install perl again.

I'm making this install on a slow old notebook and it is taking forever. I've configured distcc (according to the handbook example) and I'm not sure if it is using it. I have also activated the cccache.

On my desktop, I made the installation using the same CD (Gentoo minimal 2005) from stage 2, and everything was OK. I wonder why I'm having these problems with dependencies. Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
