System is with KDE 3.4.1, Reiser 3.6, samba, Estonian localization.

Full emerge output

The output indicates a problem with line:

in
/usr/portage/sys-libs/ss/ss-1.38.ebuild

try changing your locale/lang to C before emerging

[Comment 4 Toomas Mottus 2005-08-29 22:42:40 UTC]

Tried: 
LANG="C" LC_ALL="C" LINGUAS="en"  emerge -u --oneshot sys-libs/ss 
and 
LANG="en" LC_ALL="en" LINGUAS="en"  emerge -u --oneshot sys-libs/ss 
Also with USE="-userlocales -kerberos -linguas_et" 
 
No change. 
 
Then changed all settings system wide to "en" and recompiled glibc like 
suggested in Gentoo Localization Guide. No improvement.

Makefile from /var/tmp/portage/ss-1.38/work/e2fsprogs-1.38/lib/ss

So I tried to dig deeper:

I CD-d into /var/tmp/portage/ss-1.38/work/e2fsprogs-1.38/lib/ss and made:
# make
	SUBST mk_cmds
	MKDIR elfshared
	COMPILE_ET ss_err.et
	CC ss_err.c
	MK_CMDS std_rqs.c
Error in line 5: parse error in options list

Still the same error and I decided to submit the Makefile for better oberview
of the problem.

Then I tried 
# make clean
# LANG="C" LC_ALL="C" make
in /var/tmp/portage/ss-1.38/work/e2fsprogs-1.38/lib/ss
and in /var/tmp/portage/ss-1.38/work/e2fsprogs-1.38/
and everyting worked fine. 
Why don't LANG and LC_ALL work with emerge?

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2005-08-31 20:57:57 UTC]

most likely the estonian locale, we've had problems with e2fsprogs and that
locale before

ive applied the locale patch again to 1.38

[Comment 7 Toomas Mottus 2005-09-05 01:33:55 UTC]

No luck, 
 
Emerge has now the locale patch, but the error is the same. Still 
 
LC_ALL="C" LANG="C" make 
works in /var/tmp/portage/ss-1.38/work/e2fsprogs-1.38/, but 
 
LC_ALL="C" LANG="C" emerge sys-libs/ss 
gives the parse error. 
 
Is there a way I could debug the process myself and give better feedback?
