Finally – Im moving
by Dr D on Apr.23, 2008, under Life
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

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!
