Finally – Im moving

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

So I decided its time for me to move out.  I’ve lived at home (with my dad and older sister) for a while, and a few little things kept bugging me.  So I decided to move on, and get my own place.  Its still in town, near where other family lives, but its my own place, where I can be alone and not bothered.

So I get to pay the rest of my deposit tomorrow after work, then I get to pick up my keys Friday, May 23rd and start moving in on the 24th and 25th.

This is a big step for me.   I am happy, and nervous at the same time.

emerge -C python

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Okay, so I had a conflict with phyton and python-updater on my gentoo box the other day, and being tired and not thinking, i did a emerge -C pyton, which removes the program.

Shortly afterwards remembering the emerge program (gentoo’s portage application) is dependant on python. Doing a series of “whoops”, “oh shits”, and “damns”, I did a quick google, and found this link, and used it with updated versions/commands. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=5746

Basically what I did:

cd /tmp/

tar xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2

cd Python-2.4.4/

./configure –with-fpectl –infodir=/usr/share/info/ –mandir=/usr/share/man

make

make install prefix=/usr

emerge python

cd ; rm -rf /tmp/Python-2.4.4

Which got me back up and operational. Kudos to the original poster to fix this!
