Bug 32100 – rpm-4.2.1 fails to build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-10-27 06:16:58 UTC]

rpm-4.2.1 fails to build on my machine, apparently due to problems with beecrypt.  I'll attach snippets from the build output.

rpm-4.2.1 build output

[Comment 2 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) 2003-10-28 08:25:18 UTC]

Have you got dev-libs/beecrypt installed?
If so could you do qpkg -l dev-libs/beecrypt
The missing headers get installed by beecrypt.

It might be that having rpm-4.2 installed ( which provides an old beecrypt
( 4.2.1 doesn't have beecrypt anymore )) botched the beecrypt install progress.

[Comment 5 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) 2003-10-28 09:21:28 UTC]

Ok, this is the diagnosis:

beecrypt used to be provided in the rpm package piror to this version, but
it now got split out.

On alpha the old rpm package installed libbeecryt.so in /usr/lib, the beecrypt
standalone package, on alpha64, seems to install it in /usr/lib64.

Now when you try and build rpm-4.2.1 it only sees the old lib in /usr/lib
not the one it should use in /usr/lib64; thus causing the configure error
and not including the beecrypt include dir.

I am not sure which dir beecryt should be installed in (lib or lib64) but
just for fun I will block rpm-4.2_pre in the beecrypt ebuild, it will annoy
ppl but it is a fix ...

[Comment 6 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) 2003-10-28 16:36:46 UTC]

I guess this is fixed ...

[Comment 7 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-01 07:39:49 UTC]

Good diagnosis, Cretin, but still having problems on Alpha.

checking beecrypt/beecrypt.h usability... yes
checking beecrypt/beecrypt.h presence... yes
checking for beecrypt/beecrypt.h... yes
checking for mpfprintln in -lbeecrypt... no

It doesn't seem to be finding the lib in /usr/lib64

[Comment 8 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-11 14:21:49 UTC]

Okay, the problem here is that beecrypt should not be installing libraries
in /usr/lib64 at all.  There is no 32-bit model supported on alpha, so all
libraries should be installed in /usr/lib.  I'm investigating the problem
on beecrypt now.

[Comment 9 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-11 20:38:02 UTC]

okay, committed beecrypt-3.1.0-r1 but it still isn't completely solving the problem... will investigate more tomorrow

[Comment 10 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-12 07:44:01 UTC]

fixed beecrypt-3.1.0-r1... here is the ChangeLog entry:

  This library's makefiles are way too smart for its own good. If you update
  configure.ac, then the makefiles notice and insist on rebuilding half a dozen
  other things (even after you run autoconf). The end result is that mpopt.s is
  emptied and undefined symbols appear in the library.

  Modified the patch to affect configure instead of configure.ac so that
  autoconf isn't required and the build system doesn't screw up.

Now that beecrypt is installing in /usr/lib and mpopt.s is building correctly, this allows rpm-4.2.1 to build on alpha.  Bug closed.
