Gentoo – Emerge Profile Errors

发布于 2015-05-05  246 次阅读


After you install your Gentoo system and attempt to run Emerge you may run into the following error message:

!! /etc/make.profile is not a symlink and will probably prevent most merges. !!! It should 
point into a profile within /usr/portage/profiles/ !!! (You can safely ignore this message 
when syncing. It's harmless.) !!! If you have just changed your profile configuration, you 
should revert !!! back to the previous configuration. Due to your current profile being !!! 
invalid, allowed actions are limited to --help, --info, --sync, and !!! --version.

Have no fear... this is an easy fix! To repair this you simply need to run emerge with the --sync flag.

# sudo emerge --sync

Once it has completed you should be able to run emerge normally.
