Bugzilla Bug 152114

I get this error when trying to emerge sci-biology/ncbi-tools:

i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pipe -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -O2
-march=pentium4m -pipe -c -O2 -march=pentium4m -pipe  -I../include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -DWIN_MOTIF ncbithr.c
cp -p ncbithr.o ../lib
make: *** No rule to make target `ncbibs.o', needed by `libncbi.a'.  Stop.
Fatal error building NCBI core libraries.
Please be sure that you have X11 and Motif libraries installed.
The NCBI toolkit FAQ at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/FAQ.html may be helpful.

I have x11 and motif installed. I also tried lesstif. I tried with all
optimizing CFLAGS turned off (like j1 instead of j2) and it's still the same
error.

Here is make emerge --info:

stable i386:
sci-biology/ncbi-tools-20050605 

Hi Nick,

Can you please test if the latest version (20060507) fixes your problem?

I ran into the same problem that Nick and followed a similar path.  I've
unmasked ncbi-tools and have gotten beyond the initial error from
sci-biology/ncbi-tools-20050605 using sci-biology/ncbi-tools-20060507.  I'll
post with the results.

20060507 built just fine for me.  I did:
echo 'sci-biology/ncbi-tools ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
sudo emerge -va '>sci-biology/ncbi-tools-20050605'

Yes, the latest ~i386 version fixes this problem here.

Thanks for reporting. Arch teams are in the process of stabilising the newest
ncbi-tools version (bug #152292).

This should be solved now that a more recent version is stable on x86. Thanks
for your feedback.
