If you update the latest version of glibc (to 3.2.1), the ebuild for kvirc aborts. The ebuild is looking for /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/libstdc++.la when it should be looking for /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/libstdc++.la. Temporary workaround: Prior to running the kvirc emerge, do: # ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1 /urs/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2 This will get you past the abort spot with a warning that libstdc++.la 'seems to have been moved'. NOTE: This is not the same problem as 7131!
After adding the link as above, the emerge completed successfully and kvirc worked fine. :)
You probably mean updating gcc, right? Can you give us the error output when the ebuild looks in the wrong place?
You are correct. I do mean gcc. :) I'll see what I can do for output.
Created attachment 6200 [details] Output of kvirc emerge
I attempted to recreate the broken output by deleting the link I had made and emergeing kvirc again. However, between when I posted the bug and now, I've emerge some other things and they have apparently 'broken' qt. See the 'Output of kvirc emerge'. It didn't take very long. The emerges I've performed since are: # emerge guile gconf gnome-panel svgalib libsdl lame glut gpgme sylpheed libwnck I believe I did a few others as well including (may not be a complete list) # emerge unmerge sun-jdk (ver 1.4.1) # emerge blackdown-jdk # emerge libpng # emerge mozilla (version 1.2) # emerge wine Hope this helps.
This bug is probably related to this topic in gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=134837#134837
a solution for this should be '/usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/fix_libtool_files.sh 3.2'.
I tried the indicated tool. It 'fixed' quite a few libs in various places. Unfortunately, kvirc still wouldn't pass the qt test compile.
Hannes, this machine is the same one mentioned in bug 11606. Is it possible for the problem there be effecting my secondary problem here? (I HAVE to learn more about *nix programmming and Linux internels!) After emerging libpng for 11606, I plan on trying to emerge kvirc again. Should be interesting anyway.
I'm getting the same results as my previous attachment. I'm stumped.
After emerging xfree-4.2.1-r2, kvirc emerges through to completion with no problems reported. I consider this fixed.
you said it is fixed, so i will close this.
