No idea ?

You might want to talk to the package maintainer. We don't maintain the Gentoo package.

Looks like @ZeroChaos- maintains https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-analyzer/metasploit. :wave:

~You could use the nightly: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Nightly-Installers. I'm not sure how well it works on Gentoo.~ Brain fart - only .deb, .rpm, and .pkg (OS X).

A development environment is pretty simple to set up with rbenv if you want to do that.

Best bet is to ask the package maintainer for their recommendation on your distro.

Hello

I have same troublem

I try setting msfdb from termux wiki but why fail?

Mr.XSecr3t@localhost:/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/lib $ cd $HOME/metasploit-framework/config Mr.XSecr3t@localhost:~/metasploit-framework/config $ ls application.rb database.yml.travis boot.rb database.yml.vagrant cucumber.yml environment.rb database.yml environments database.yml.example Mr.XSecr3t@localhost:~/metasploit-framework/config $ initdb $PREFIX/var/lib/postgresql The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "u0_a210". This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "C.UTF-8". The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

Is this something wrong? Thank you if you reply my problems :(
