Description duryee 2005-11-23 12:43:08 UTC 
I added ~sparc to sys-apps/bar, and bar 1.10.3 compiles cleanly but doesn't run.
It gives the following error:

*** ERROR: [2]: No such file or directory
           Memory allocation failed

It works on x86, however.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bar on sparc
2. run it
3. crash and burn

Actual Results:  
*** ERROR: [2]: No such file or directory
           Memory allocation failed


Expected Results:  
runs like x86 version

Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-23 12:47:46 UTC 
That's probably why it's not keyworded sparc at all. Feel free to reopen with a
sane patch.
Comment 2 duryee 2005-11-23 13:26:02 UTC 
adding --disable-use-memalign to econf makes it work, i.e.:

 econf --disable-use-memalign || die "econf failed"


bar tries to use either posix_memalign, or plain malloc if the former isn't
available. The sparc version needs to be plain malloc.
Comment 3 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-14 07:03:07 UTC 
Fixed in cvs and keyworded ~sparc, thanks for the report.
