what's your /bin/sh?  Builds fine here.

[Comment 4 gunix 2005-07-24 10:18:33 UTC]

ls -l /bin/sh
shows a link to bash   (version 3.00.16(1)
Any ideas?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2005-07-25 06:18:03 UTC]

what version of findutils do you have ?

[Comment 6 gunix 2005-07-25 06:31:37 UTC]

$ find --version
GNU find version 4.1.20

Findutils version:  4.1.20-r1

[Comment 7 gunix 2005-07-26 11:48:02 UTC]

I did

./configure --prefix=/tmp
make

with the clanlib 0.7.8-1.tar.bz2  file,
and I managed to compile it. No problem at all.

[Comment 8 gunix 2005-07-28 00:04:21 UTC]

But problem still remains with gentoo ebuild.

[Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-12-01 10:35:09 UTC]

I cannot duplicate this with the exact same USE flags.  I would have thought
that it would have died during the documentation creation, but it does not.  Can
you verify that you're still getting this bug?

[Comment 10 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-02-10 16:24:01 UTC]

Please REOPEN if you're still experiencing this...
