Hello, I am just going through stage2 on my sparc (using stage2-sparc64-20040210.tar.bz2) but when I try to emerge sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1 it fails during configure: ---------------------------------- # emerge -u help2man Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) help2man_1.33.1.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking help2man_1.33.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/help2man-1.33.1/work >>> Source unpacked. configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

Your options are: * re-emerge gettext after bootstrap * USE="-nls" during emerge system I can reproduce this one but haven't had time to investigate further.
Ok, no prob. As stated above I just used the older help2man-1.29 ebuild which seems to work fine so far (stage 2 currently still compiling).
Not quite sure what's happening here. If you run configure via portage, it'll die as below. If you take the exact same config options portage uses (find them via emerge -dv help2man), configure finds and likes the /usr/lib/preloadable_libint.so file. base-system folks, any ideas?
base-system folks - can you please look at this and comment relatively soon? Or direct me to a better avenue to pursue this issue?
*ding* *ding* - Its a sandbox issue. I am buys with a fix ...
not a sparc issue because i had the same exact problem and we opted to ignore it thinking my box sucked ;)
I am having the same problem. Thanks for the work-around. jos
I am having the same problem. Thanks for the work-around. josé
Created attachment 26489 [details, diff] sandbox-execve-LD_PRELOAD.patch Ok, this should fix it. Besides a small cleanup, it fixes the third argument of the memcpy's to be 'sizeof (char *)' and not 'sizeof (new_envp)', as it should be (as we copy the pointer, and not the data).
Created attachment 26533 [details, diff] sandbox-execve-LD_PRELOAD.patch Ok, this should do it. We need to create and pass our own environ to execve on sparc and others.
Ok, commited to cvs. When can we expect this in new portage?
patch fixed it on my machine also
As this is now fixed in portage >=2.0.50-r3, anyone have any objections to resolving it?
you can close this one as far as I am concerned... ;-)

csaltos: Actually your problem is a circular dep problem, more in line bug #55479, which isn't related to the original problem of this bug.
