Bug 138690 – Emerge net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-1.4.3 fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tom van Leeuwen 2006-07-01 04:17:29 UTC]

Hi,

Please be gentle to me, since I don't have much experience when it comes to filing bugs. I've read the writing guidelines and search for this bug before filing of course.

I tried to emerge nagios-plugins-1.4.3 on my Gentoo system but the merge fails.
It seems that it fails while doing the ./configure.

I get the following error:
checking for struct swapent.se_nblks... no
checking for /proc/meminfo... found /proc/meminfo
checking for dig... no
checking for va_list... ./configure: line 33984: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
./configure: line 33984: `echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }'

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/nagios-plugins-1.4.3/work/nagios-plugins-1.4.3/config.log

!!! ERROR: net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-1.4.3 failed.

!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


I don't know how to attach files, so I've put them online
emerge --info: http://www.vleeuwen.eu/nagios-plugins-1.4.3/emerge-info.log
emerge output: http://www.vleeuwen.eu/nagios-plugins-1.4.3/output.log
config log: http://www.vleeuwen.eu/nagios-plugins-1.4.3/config.log

I hope I have filed this correctly. 
With regards,

Yep, this is cropping up for me as well.  Happens for 1.4.2(-r1) as well as 1.4.3.

Looks like an upstream problem with configure.in. Apparently autoconf 2.60 introduces a stricter set of rules and caught this one. I'm going to contact upstream with a patch I'm about to add. I'll see if I can get our stuff at least patched for now.

This should fix configure.in. Let me know if it does (sorry I don't have an ebuild patch yet.. will get to that later).

I've used your patchfile and it compiled like a charm.
It works!

Thanks! Fixed in cvs as -r1.
