^ file:///etc/xml/catalog:1: error: Start tag expected

Trying to emerge gnome in Gentoo Linux, but I can't get it installed.

Code:

---

file:///etc/xml/catalog:1: error: Document is empty

^
file&#58;///etc/xml/catalog&#58;1&#58; error&#58; Start tag expected, '<' not found

^.

there it hangs. no more response
Could anyone please help? I tried fixed packages. emerge -u world........... no help at all

KDE works just OK.

any idea?

where is the error log for emerging gnome?

You're using GRP right? It seems like it's hanging, but give it some time. Mine did the exact same thing, same with a couple other packages like evolution.

well, i did wait till it finished, but there is an error message afterwards. saying that gnome was not installed, try to loginto gnome using gdm, but failed.

Hmm. I guess try a regular emerge gnome, or burn the latest cd 2 of whatever cd you're using.

did that too

Try making /etc/xml/catalog a valid XML file, by putting this into it:

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http&#58;//www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">

Thanks Dolda, Problem solved!

delete etc/xml, emerge docbook-xml-dtd then emerge scrollkeeper

finally emerge -k gnome

all done!
