First of all, this is my very first bug-report ever made. I have done my best to search the existing bug reports first, but if this is a duplicate, feel free to rub my face in the dirt (and on the bug this is a duplicate of) :-) After performing the following steps: - Following the gentoo-website installation instructions while using the Stage2 tarball (release 1.4rc1) for Pentium2 (I have a Celeron 300A). - Changing the make.conf to contain the following: USE="mmx 3dfx gphoto2 scanner cups slp X dga opengl xv fbcon -kde -arts gnome gtk evo -motif tcltk aalib imlib ncurses -readline sdl svga lcms gif jpeg png tiff -gd avi mpeg quicktime alsa esd mikmod pss nas -ggi dvd xmms oggvorbis -flash encode -ipv6 snmp ggz pam ssl crypt socks5 imap ldap maildir -mbox tcpd -xface mozilla -mozaccess-builtin -mozctl -mozirc -mozxmlterm -spell truetype xml xml2 pdflib -plotutils -tetex guile java perl python -ruby -slang libwww libg++ -atlas -pic -zeo berkdb mysql -postgres -oci8 -odbc -innodb -gdbm -acl -afs samba -nls doc gpm -cjk -canna -freewnn -mule zlib" CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium2 -march=pentium2 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fmerge-constants -malign-double -mmmx -fregmove -fmove-all-movables" - emerge sync - emerge system ... the following error(s) occurred while making the perl package: Greetings, Jeroen Stamps (upon requests, I have the complete log of running emerge system) <snip> io/fs................FAILED at test 17 io/open..............FAILED at test 15 <snip> op/stat..............FAILED at test 2 op/sysio.............FAILED at test 13 <snip> lib/filefind.........Can't cd to (./proc/2273/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2225/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2217/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2214/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2212/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2101/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2100/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2099/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2098/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2097/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2096/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2095/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2056/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2052/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/94/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/13/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/12/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/10/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/6/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/5/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/4/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/3/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/2/) fd : Permission denied Can't cd to (./proc/1/) fd : Permission denied ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m mkdir: /for_find ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fa/faa ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fa/fab/faba ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fa/fab ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fa ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fb/fba ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /fb ESC[31;01mACCESS DENIEDESC[0m rmdir: /for_find FAILED at test 3 <snip> lib/findbin..........FAILED at test 1 <snip> Executable pod/pod2man not found. /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r7/image//usr/share/man/man1/perlmacos.1 <snip> /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r7/image//usr/share/man/man1/perldebug.1 make[1]: *** [install.man] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r7/work/perl-5.6.1' make: *** [install] Error 2 !!!

did you mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc -t proc before you chrooted into the gentoo partition?
Not exactly, I followed the gentoo.org installation document, and that states the following (point 9.1) "mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc" WITHOUT the "-t proc" addition, I'll immediately try it with that addition ! Jeroen
But, alas, that did not help :-( The errors remain (the same, by the way). what I find strange is that a script pod2man.PL exists in the perl-tarball, which, according to the script itself, should be able to be executed after building the PERL package, so the build of PERL itself would have to have succeeded then? Could this be something simple as writing the wrong path to pod2man or something ? (i.e. "pod/pod2man") If you require further info, please ask! Jeroen
This looks like it could be a lot of things, none of them perl specific. How is disk space on this drive? I know the answer to this, but just to be safe, were you doing this as root? Is it possible /proc is being mounted correctly (yeah, saw the posts about how to mount it, but when you do mount it, is there anything there? what are the permissions like?). A few shots in the dark at least.

I am sorry, but the next two months I won't be able to comment further on this matter, since I am going to relocate (I think is the right word in English; buying a new house, and living there ?). After that, and when my internet connection is back online, I will check it out again... See you later, Jeroen
Hi! I worked out a hack to fix this problem (look Bug 10975 for my error): (Its really a hack so dont do it either you dont know any other way) Comment the following lines in the /usr/portage/sys-devel/perl/perl-5.6.1-r7.ebuild: ---------------------------------------- src_install() { export PARCH=`grep myarchname config.sh | cut -f2 -d"'"` insinto /usr/lib/perl5/${PV}/${PARCH}/CORE/ doins ${WORKDIR}/libperl.so dosym /usr/lib/perl5/${PV}/${PARCH}/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/libperl.so # make -f Makefile \ # INSTALLMAN1DIR=${D}/usr/share/man/man1 \ # INSTALLMAN3DIR=${D}/usr/share/man/man3 \ # install || die # make \ # DESTDIR=${D} \ # INSTALLMAN1DIR=${D}/usr/share/man/man1 \ # INSTALLMAN3DIR=${D}/usr/share/man/man3 \ # install || die "Unable to make install" # install -m 755 utils/pl2pm ${D}/usr/bin/pl2pm #man pages # ./perl installman \ # --man1dir=${D}/usr/share/man/man1 \ # --man1ext=1 \ # --man3dir=${D}/usr/share/man/man3 \ # --man3ext=3 # This removes ${D} from Config.pm dosed /usr/lib/perl5/${PV}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux/Config.pm dosed /usr/lib/perl5/${PV}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux/.packlist # DOCUMENTATION # dodoc Changes* Artistic Copying README Todo* AUTHORS # prepalldocs # HTML Documentation # dodir /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html # ./perl installhtml --recurse --htmldir=${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/html } ---------------------------------------- Now emerge Perl... after it says "emerged Perl" hit CTRL+C... it looked like it wants to unmerge gcc here on my box :) Now do the following steps: # cd /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r7/image/ # cp -avi usr/ / If it wants to overwrite some perl libs say "yes". Last steps: # cd /usr/bin/ # ln -s perl5.6.1 perl # cd /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.6.1-r7/work/perl-5.6.1/lib # cp -avi * /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/ And you are done... Perl should work now as normal ;) As I said, this is a absolute hack! It worked on my system and this does not mean it will work for you! But its worth a try though :/
It just doesn't make sense though :) If the pod generation is failing, there has to be some other underlying problem here. If you follow bazik's recommendation (which of course you are free to) you will have perl installed minus any and all documentation. Those errors still look like nagging problems with the file system itself (permissions, space, something along those lines...). Anyone else that is watching this bug have the same problems that can verify that the filesystem itself is ok?
Better dont try what I posted because it gives some errors at later packages (findutils, gawk etc...) :) (btw, who needs documentation? I have internet access ;) ) As for your question: As I said, I repartioned the complete harddisk of this machine (PC #1), and I am 100% sure that there is nothing wrong with them. I had the same and exactly the same problem on my other machine (PC #2). Here is the technical data of the two machines: PC #1: Pentium 4 2000MHz, 512mb RDRAM, 4x 60 GB IBM IC350L060 ATA100 running in one Raid0 (stripping) of 240 GB, ReiserFS 3.6 PC #2: Athlon 800MHz, 1536mb SDRAM, 1x 30 GB IBM 307030 ATA100, 1x 20 GB IBM 307020 ATA100, both ReiserFS 3.6 (/home was on the 20 GB, the rest on the 30 GB). As for the Athlon I cant post my USE or optimization flags because this machine is in the computer heaven right now :) But here are my flags for the Pentium 4: CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -malign-double -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mno-3dnow" USE="-3dfx -3dnow -aalib -acl -afs alsa apm -arts -atlas avi -berkdb -bonobo -canna cdr -cjk crypt cups dga directfb -doc dvd encode esd -evo fbcon -flash -freewnn gb -gd -gdbm -ggi -ggz gif gnome -gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml -guile -icc -icc-pgo -imap -imlib -innodb -ipv6 java jikes jpeg -junit -kde -kerberos -lcms -ldap -leim -libg++ -libgda -libwww -matrox -maildir -mbox -mikmod mmx -motif -mozilla mpeg -mule -mysql -nas ncurses -nls nocardbus -oci8 -odbc oggvorbis opengl -oss -pam -pcmcia -pda pdflib -perl -pic -plotutils png -pnp -postgres -python -qt -qtmt quicktime readline -ruby samba -sasl -scanner sdl -slang -slp -snmp -socks5 -spell sse ssl -static svga -tcltk -tcpd -tetex tiff truetype -trusted -voodoo3 -wavelan wmf X xface -xml -xml2 xmms xv -zeo zlib" :D What I just notice is, that I havent tried to compile without CFLAGS yet... I'll try this when I am back at home (wasting work time right now). To keep it short, the common things between my both machines where it borked are: - IBM Harddisks (doubt thats the problem ;) ) - ReiserFS filesystem - GCC Flags -mmmx and -fomit-frame-pointer on both machines And now which makes this common stuff above useless is that I compiled everything fine on my Compaq M300 Laptop with 333MHz Celeron, 128 MB SDRAM and a 14 GB Toshiba Harddisk. It uses ReiserFS 3.6 aswell and the CFLAGS contain -mmmx and -fomit-frame-pointer too. I also tried to install Perl 5.8.0 but it b0rks too with a "write permission denied" error :/ If you need any further Info, please let me know! IMHO this is a critical bug because it prevents some users from installing the system at all :( regardsm bazik
Oh and I didnt change anything with the permissions during install (on nothing), just straight followed the install docs. As for the free disk space: On PC #1, I have around 239 GB free ( :D ), PC #2 had about 29 GB free... that should be enough, eh? ;)
Forgot one thing to mention: I only used the Stage1 tarballs and IIRC the problem on the Athlon was with Gentoo 1.2. On the Pentium its 1.4rc1. Sorry for the SPAM, is there a way to edit bug comments?
Hi again! I just tried to compile Perl again on a fresh install (repartioned again... :) ). After the bootstrap was done, I emerged "groff" (the dependencie of perl) and then edited the CFLAGS in my make.conf from CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -malign-double -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mno-3dnow" to CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe" I did "emerge perl", prayed and waited.... and it works! So my guess is that one of the CFLAGS I left out borks the Perl build on some systems... the others who get this error should try to modify there CFLAGS as well and report if it works...
I notice in your original use flags that you had -gdbm - perl requires either gdbm or berkdb to compile. I know, you have berkdb still enabled, but just to be safe I've modified the ebuild for perl tonight to die early if neither are installed. Honestly, those are the only two use flags (aside from having gcc installed) that would make any kind of difference.
Michael, yep, you are right! I changed my USE flags from "[...] -berkdb -perl [...]" to "[...] berkdb perl [...]" And it worked straight after the first try! IMHO this bug can be seen as fixed now ;)
P.S.: BTW, it worked with "-gdbm" in USE...
r8 has been updated - db is now a req. The problem is that perl detects the presense of the library itslef (exclusive of the use flags), but the ebuild tries to disable that support if your use flag is no. To be honest, db support, though not *necessary*, is what helps the dynaloader work among other things. If the new version of r8 works for all (soon to hit a mirror near you...some time after I commit, some time before you probably read this) let me know. Since db is part of your base system, it is there by default anyway.
Is anyone else on the CC list still having problems, or can this be closed out?
I've just come across this "You must have either gdbm or berkdb installed and in your use flags." case while emerging perl-5.6.1-r9. I don't understand why the build has to fail if I don't have any of those use flags. The way I see it (and that might well be wrong), if perl *needs* either db or gdbm, they do not qualify as "optional support". Considering that db is already a requirement and part of the base system, I'd say it'd be better to assume berkdb as a default when neither gdbm nor berkdb are included in the use variable.
