Full Text Bug Listing

ebuild crashes while building ghostscript as a dependancy for cups.
This had happened to me before. Since then i rebuilt the os (today) and the 
same error occurs. I spent some time on #gentoo, other people said that it has 
built for them.
The system is a dell L550r (p3) with 128M ram.  The root fs is on an xfs 
partition. I mount /boot, /home on seperate ext3 partitions 
and /usr/local, /var on seperate xfs partitions.  256M swap space.

The following is the error:

if i can provide any info let me know. thanks for a great distro :-)

ghostscript emerges fine for me.

What version of portage are you running? if not 2.0.28 then emerge -u portage.
How much free space is there on the partition with /var? you need at least 48M
free for ghostscript to compile.

Try the following (may not work. but it has for me in the past)

rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/*

This will clean out the build area, and hopefully leave everything fresh.
Then try to emerge ghostscript by itself. From your error log the ebuild is
dying in the install stage. It seems to be compiling correctly.

If emerge ghostscript doesn't work, then cd to /usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript
and run

 ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild compile

followed by

 ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild install

If they complete without problems, do

 ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild qmerge

If not, cd to /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/espgs-7.05.3 and make
sure that the directory examples/cjk exists.

If it does, run

make prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr
datadir=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share
install_prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/ install

examples/cjk doesn't exist then I'll need to look at why it's not being built.
In that case can you run

emerge ghostscript &> ebuild.log and attached here or email it to me at
stubear@gentoo.org and I'll have a dig through it.

Stuart Bouyer

Sorry, my bad,

make prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr
datadir=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share
install_prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/ install

should have been

make prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr \
datadir=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share \
install_prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/ install

It's one line. 

Can you try this again from 
/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/espgs-7.05.3

thanks.

Still looking through the log, I'll get back to you as soon as I find anything.

Stuart

p.s. Can you post your response to bugzilla, I'll be at work and I can't check
stubear@gentoo.org there.

thanks

Stuart this seems to work: 
(but portage has no idea that ghostscript is installed) --pretend emerge still 
lists ghostscript as an uninstalled dependancy for cups: how do I fix this?

Alex,

Well we are getting closer. Still not there yet, but we have narrowed the field
down to a few lines in the ebuild.

This is where I think it is breaking.

In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, can you run this command
cp -a fonts /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share/ghostscript

** That should be all on one line.

If this doesn't work (as I suspect) then we are down to 2 possible problems -
bad or missing fonts package (but this should be taken care of by the digest) or
faulty cp command.

To test the 1st idea.

check that /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/fonts exists and contains
fonts, cd to /usr/portage/distfiles and 

#ls -l gnu-gs-fonts-*

I get 

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       796086 Aug  2 07:39
gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1881193 Aug  2 07:38 gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz

If your files are differnt then delete them and try remerging, if they are the
same size as mine then

# md5sum gnu-gs-fonts-*

You should get

33457d3f37de7ef03d2eea05a9e6aa4f  gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz
1521fab85ca3e8ce3ce781d4970e6c79  gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz

If that is the case, then it seems that cp isn't working properly

try to remerge fileutils and remerge ghostcript.

If all that fails, then you can try to emerge ghostscript with the --usepkg
command on the tarball I'll attach to bugzilla, cause I've run out of ideas
after that.

tarball seems to be too big for bugzilla, let me know if you want it and I'll
email it too you directly (It's 4.8M or so).

Hopefully I'll be on irc later, If X and kvirc ever finish compiling.
Give me a shout there if you see me (StuBear)

Stuart

I thought we had it this morning the longhand make ... seemed to install 
everything ok or am i wrong?  Only thing was that portage never knew it.
can portage be manully made aware of the longhand ghostscript install so cups 
installation may proceed?

I followed the last post with these results:

>check that /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/fonts exists and 
contains
>fonts, cd to /usr/portage/distfiles and 

Yes exists and has files.  File sizes and md5sums match as well.
remerged fileutils again (emerge sys-apps/fileutils)< is this what you ment?
emerge ghostscript still fails...with same error in line 200.

Had this problem with another build same computer the first time i built gentoo-
1.2; that's what prompted me to rebuild the os this week.  I thought the re-
merge of fileutils sounded like a "real" fix.  I forget which package was the 
other package - but the broken copy sounded good.

The only things on the system that are not plain vanilla are the xfs fs on some 
of the partitions and I attempted to use some USE flags...could they cause all 
this grief???

# Build-time functionality

USE="-3dnow -nls mmx sse tcltk aalib tiff alsa flash xml perl mysql innodb odbc 
gd zeo ldap gtkhtml ipv6 acl ruby"

I logged the remerge of fleutils and ghostscripts second attempt.. I'll mail 
them to stubear@gentoo.org as not to fill up the bug report with lines of 
potentially nothing if you find anything "good" in them add it as an additional 
comment i guess?

thanks for your help..I'll try you on irc. 

Alex,

all the error messages point to these lines in the ebuild as being the problem ones

        cd ${WORKDIR}
        cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die
        cd ${S}

matches

cp: preserving permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//us
r/share/ghostscript/fonts': Invalid argument

in your error log.

None of your USE flags could cause this problem (AFAIK). However, I saw in
another thread that there are some problems with XFS and low-latency in the
kernel. Do you have this option? 

Also is the partion that /var/tmp on XFS?

If so you may need to recompile the kernel without low-latency if you want to
use XFS.

You may need to hack the ebuild to get it to install. To do this

In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run

cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript

This will copy all the fonts manually. Then cd to 
/usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript/

and edit  ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild, changing

        cd ${WORKDIR}
        cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die
        cd ${S}

to

        cd ${WORKDIR}
        #cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die
        cd ${S}

Then emerge ghostscript. It SHOULD emerge correctly now, but doesn't answer the
problem, why it didn't in the first place. I have a feeling it has something to
do with XFS, but not sure what.

Stuart

>In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run
>
>cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript

Returns the same 'Invalid argument'

but;

Where are font-files suposed to be under '/usr/share/ghostscript' 
or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' cause I have what seems to be the same font 
files in both locations?

after:
>        cd ${WORKDIR}
>        #cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die
>        cd ${S}

the emerge worked as dir the merge of cups...won't know till tuesday if the 
printer works...box is at work.  However i saw this at the end of the cups 
emerge, is this ok? emerge -s indicates that ghostscript is installed?

 *
 * emerge >=app-text/ghostscript-7.05-r1 if you need to print
 * to a non-postscript printer
 *
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> net-print/cups-1.1.15-r2 merged.

>>> Recording net-print/cups in "world" favorites file...


 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

Yes

Do you know the option-name, i looked in my kernel config file, i saw nothing 
with latency and only a few xfs options, but nothing that looked like what you 
said?
#CONFIG_VXFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_XFS_RT is not set
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
# CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI is not set

Would it be benificial to tar off /var and reformat the partition as ext3 and 
drop /var back in place?

>>In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run
>>
>>cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript

Okay, this shouldn't happen. It looks like /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts might 
have odd permissions. 

>but;

>or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' cause I have what seems to be the same font 
>files in both locations?

cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript, should copy the directory 'fonts' 
to '/usr/share/ghostcript' to create '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' - all font 
files should be in here.

You HAVE emerged ghostscript now, however it appears that 
the '/usr/share/ghostscript' or '/usr/share/ghostcript/fonts' have the wrong 
permissions. 

If you are feeling brave, you could 

# emerge unmerge ghostscript

to unmerge ghostscript, then make sure that '/usr/share/ghostscript' no longer 
exists. Then change the ghostscript ebuild back to the original form and try to 
emerge again.

A less brave option would be to change the the permissions 
on '/usr/share/ghostscript' and/or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts'. I don't have 
access to my machine with ghostscript on it, but they should be something like

# ls -ld /usr/share/ghostscript
drwxr-xr-x  23 root root  4096 17 Jul 2002 ghostscript

if its not drwxr-xr-x then 

#chmod 755 /usr/share/ghostscript

to reset it (do the same for /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts if necessary)

if its not root root then

#chown root.root /usr/share/ghostscript

The final option it to leave it alone cause ghostscript has emerged now, but 
you might get problems in the future. When I get home, I'll email you with the 
permissions for all the files on my machine for ghostscript if you like.

Stuart

Closing this. seems to be okay now
