• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marc Herren 2002-11-04 07:08:10 UTC]

Emerging sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r7 results in

I used the command:

        cc -o try -march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -L/usr/local/lib try.c -lnsl -lndbm -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm
-lc -lcrypt -lutil
        ./try

and I got the following output:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../../libdb.so: undefined reference to
`pthread_mutexattr_destroy'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../../libdb.so: undefined reference to
`pthread_mutexattr_init'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../../libdb.so: undefined reference to

please check which version of db you're running -- you should be running db-1.85
and db-3.something and NOT db-4.  This honestly looks like a db-4 install.

Sorry, I found the problem. Some one gave me a hint to check the Berkeley DB.

I had the following installed

Latest version available: 3.2.9-r1
Latest version installed: 4.1.24

After unmerging 4.1.24 and emerging 3.2.9-r1 the perl ebuild worked fine.

I don't know how I got this DB version on my system, I didn't edit the
packages.mask neither I'm in the unstable tree.
