The emerge script exits without error after unpacking the php-4.4.0 source. The following are the last lines I get. Running configure manually (after the exit) succeeds. >>> Unpacking php-4.4.0.tar.bz2 to /tmp/portage/php-4.4.0/work * Applying uClibc/libtool patches ... * Fixing ${S}/configure ... [ ok ] >>> Source unpacked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge php 2. 3. Actual Results: exit w/o error after unpacking sources Expected Results: compile and install php-4.4.0
emerge --info is missing, also attach a full emerge log (emerge php &> emerge.log)
Created attachment 65604 [details] emerge --info
Created attachment 65607 [details] emerge log, cf. emerge.log-manual (see comment) There is a very long idle period after * Fixing ${S}/configure ... [ ok ] this was generated by running #emerge --verbose php &> emerge.log but looks rather strange -- probably a fuckup due to color codes (my machine's good at that) I include the log i get to see on screen (cut and pasted) in emerge.log-manual
Created attachment 65609 [details] emerge log, proper one after the line * Fixing ${S}/configure ... [ ok ] there is a long pause this log is here because the one generated by emerge --verbose php &> emerge.log gave scrambled results. and for what it's worth the use flags for the package are: [ebuild N ] dev-php/php-4.4.0 +X +berkdb +crypt +curl -debug -doc -fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds +gd -gd-external +gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp -imap -informix +ipv6 +java +jpeg -kerberos -ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql +mysql +ncurses +nls -oci8 -odbc +pam +png -postgres +readline -snmp +spell +ssl +tiff +truetype +xml2 -yaz 0 kB

please run: strace -ff -ophplog -s65536 -v -ttt -T emerge php and attach the phplog* files it generates.
1. i put the file on my server, as it is 32 MBs of compressed data. http://huhn.iwt.uni-bielefeld.de/str_emerge_php.tar.bz2 2. the ending differed from the ones i invarably got before (which is above me), giving an error message: !!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.4.0 failed. !!! Function php-sapi_src_compile, Line 278, Exitcode 1 !!! You need a virtual/mta that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail! !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I will go after it anyway-- this system has half a mail setup for training purposes. may it screw things up? 3. looking into the files, what little i could make of it is that the bash-completion seems to make it grow very long. so if you'd like a run without, please complain.
Bit of research later: I use nbsmtp on this system, and it actually blocks sendmail (which i want to avoid anyway) as well as the nullmailer. What I found googling around left me none the wiser, I'm afraid...
umm do you actually have a /usr/sbin/sendmail? The binary should be provided by EVERY MTA. I know that nullmailer provides it. /usr/sbin/sendmail != sendmail package since you got an actual error this time, I won't download the logfiles (I don't need 32mb of traffic right now).
actually, no. i also wondered about that one and reemerged nbsmtp to no avail. i will try and install one and give an update. BTW: another emerge php w/o strace did not repeat the error message.
please paste in the output from this command: equery f mail-mta/nbsmtp (if you don't have it, emerge gentoolkit first).
@comment 10: too late, i already had nbsmtb unmerged (but be assured: there was no sendmail in it) and the nullmailer in place when this dropped in. ---- now i've got a sendmail, and all is well. so i am happy now, php installed itself. if you'd like me to reinsert nbsmtp for getting the list of files it provides, i will certainly do so. or indeed provide any other assistance, as i am aware that this is either some inconsistency in the portage system or a broken nbsmtp.
actually, if you could open a new bug for the nbsmtp gentoo maintainers , telling them they need to provide the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary, and go thru debugging with them, that would be great. Point them here if you need to.
