Bug 428696 – net-misc/curl-7.27: curl-config --libs fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tolga Dalman 2012-07-30 18:42:42 UTC]

This is what I get:
/usr/bin/curl-config --libs
/usr/bin/curl-config: line 148: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
/usr/bin/curl-config: line 148: `       else'

There seems to be a accidental wrap-over in the corresponding lines:

145: if test "X/usr/lib64" != "X/usr/lib" -a "X/usr/lib64" != "X/usr/lib64"; t
146: hen
147:    CURLLIBDIR="-L/usr/lib64 "
148: else
149:    CURLLIBDIR=""
150: fi

Thanks for the report.  I wish all of curls' bugs were this easy to fix.  It'll probably be a few days before I commit the fix though because the bugs are coming in for 7.27.

This is a bad deal, this will leave many packages broken and failing to compile. I would suggest making the quick fix and waiting for any additional bugs at a later time.

I have masked this ( =net-misc/curl-7.27.0 ). You can remove the mask when you fix it in a revbump.

Okay this should be fixed in curl-7.27.0-r1.  Please test and reopen if this is still a problem.
