Gentoo Kernel Installation Difficulties- Proxy Troubles [Solved]

[Emily6282]

I am in the process of installing the gentoo Kernel (gentoo-sources).

When I typed in: emerge gentoo-sources I received the followng error:
Error parsing proxy URL http://proxy.server.comort: Bad port number.

When I search for gentoo-sources using emerge -s gentoo-sources I am able to see it. I was wondering what I need to do. Thanks!

looks like you have a wierd proxy setting in make.conf

open up /etc/make.conf and look for the line that says somthing about a PROXY, put a # in front of it, save the file and try the emerge again.

I don't have a PROXY line, should I have one?

This problem was fixed by typing unset http_proxy

I'm installing Gentoo for the first time.

I had the same problem, but unset http_proxy solved it.

Thanks
