configure fails in the new swig-1.3.27 ebuild. When it looks for the Python prefix, configure allocates all available memory, causes the system to swap wildly, and if I do not kill the process it fails with a memory error.

Hi, my name is Mr. WTF. Mr. WTF wants to know why his package was bumped without his permission, despite the fact he stated that it isn't ready to go into portage yet? Fun, Fun! >:|
that's a bit odd ... what does this show on your machine: PYTHON="" ($PYTHON -c "import sys; print sys.prefix") PYTHON=python ($PYTHON -c "import sys; print sys.prefix")
demokrit ~ # PYTHON="" ($PYTHON -c "import sys; print sys.prefix") -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' demokrit ~ # PYTHON=python ($PYTHON -c "import sys; print sys.prefix") -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' I guess this was not what you wanted to see :-) I am no expert on bash syntax (being a tcsh man), but let me try this: demokrit ~ # export PYTHON="" demokrit ~ # python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix" /usr demokrit ~ # export PYTHON=python demokrit ~ # python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix" /usr Was that what you needed to see? /Jakob
By the way: It is not the Python executable, that uses all available memory. Top shows that it is the configure script itself. /Jakob
Sorry for continuing to add comments. I just saw that the ebuild had been updated. Now it works! I close the bug as fixed. Thank you!! /Jakob
