Portage Problems

[sadza]

Hey Everyone, I recently installed Gentoo. Everything went okay apart from /boot refusing to mount from /dev/hda1 on startup when it says mounting local filesystems.. But startup continues normally I just have to manually mount /boot. No problem.

Anyway back on track, I am trying to install php for an apache2 server. PHP doesn't compile and results in an error, so I decided to do a system update
portage -u system
this identified 12 packages to install but the first one texinfo always fails.

make[2]: *** [texinfo.info] Error 132
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/texinfo-4.8/work/texinfo-4.8/doc'

I get errors if I go emerge php and it tries to emerge xorg-x11 aswell, if i go USE="-*" and then add all the goodies like SSL gd MYSQL etc php almost compiles and installs but I get a pear error similiar to the one documented above.

Thank you heaps to anyone who can help as I am very much new to linux and have decided to try out Gentoo.

Sorry everyone, nevermind, i changed the instruction from pentium 4 to pentium 3 and removed pipe and now things work. I don't know why i put it on p4.. i guess its not a high end celeron lol is there such a thing. Oh well should i recompile all existing packages? Please say no...

I have a p4 2.8 Ghz Celeron proc, and it is really fast.
Celeron's are a lot better than what they used to be.
