Bugzilla Bug 56510

i have re-emerged readline to no avail... i consistantly get this:

$emerge -v =app-admin/apachetop-0.11

!!! ERROR: app-admin/apachetop-0.11 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 28, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

I have no issues with the previous version of apachetop (0.9), it works fine. I just have never been able to get 0.11 to compile correctly...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v =app-admin/apachetop-0.11

Actual Results:  
fails to compile [i think it fails on the linking, actually]
emerge fails

Expected Results:  
should properly compile and install the software

This patch fixes it.

Hrm.  I can't reproduce the bug.  I'm happy that the patch isn't going to break
anything.

Please emerge sync, and see if that fixes the problem.

Best regards,
Stu

Thanks! It now finally works... just in time for apachetop-0.12 to be added to
the portage tree...

Just out of curiosities sake, what exactly does that added sed line do? And
what do you think it fixed that wasn't being done properly for me before?
