Tried an emerge of latest gal. It failed during configure with the following error: checking for iconv in -liconv... no checking for iconv... yes checking for gnu_get_libc_version... yes checking if iconv() handles UTF-8... no configure: error: You need to install a working iconv implementation, such as ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv !!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gal-0.22 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 39, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) The libiconv package is currently masked and according to description it can "break things". Iconv on my system came from glibc-2.3.1-r3
Since package.mask tells me libiconv breaks evolution (but gal-0.22 is it's dependency) I went ahead and used libiconv-1.8 (new code on the site). Besides having some trouble during the install (it wants to build against the lib, who is in '/var/tmp/portage/libi.../image' instead)...To tackle this I ran a manual 'make install' first, so it would be there the next run ;-)...Not the most beautiful way, but now gal-0.22 compiles fine for me (using libiconv, not without it.). Regards, Rogi
can you give me the config.log of the failing configure step ?

We know it works, but it just aint very smart to use. Anyway the problem is, there is no iconv.h on your system and glibc should always install this, can you check if /usr/include/iconv.h exists ? If it doesnt, can you rebuild glibc see if it turns up ?

It works for me just fine, anything special about your glibc you can think of ? Can you try and reemerge it see if the problem stays ?
You've missed a snip ;-): <SNIP> >>> sys-libs/glibc-2.3.1-r3 merged. sys-libs/glibc selected: none protected: 2.3.1-r3 omitted: none >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> Auto-cleaning packages ... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. # ls -la /usr/include/iconv.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1776 Jan 13 20:37 /usr/include/iconv.h </SNIP> (I had to recreate the right iconv.h to try (went ahead with libiconv, but after your remarks decided it's wiser not to).. Actually this is not my bug, so I guess I'm not alone in this (Frantz back me up here, please ;-), just got the same problem...It's my 2nd. Gentoo install, to keep in sync with 'Vanilla-Gentoo' rc1/2, not changed by any strange 'gimme, gimme new code' ebuild-behavior ;-)
can you try to debug it, figure out where it goes wrong ? it just doesnt make much sense that it does work for me.
/usr/include/iconv.h exists on my system. The only thing out of the ordinary that I can think of regarding my glibc is the following: The 2.4.20 kernel headers do not exist as a gentoo package yet. I extracted them from kernel source myself and had glibc compile against those. Second thing is that I compile with a -march=i486 flag where the actual cpu is a pIII. I have a good reason to do this but discussing here why would be too lenghty. Else, my install is pretty normal. I did not manually edit any of the ebuilds and the system is up to date. I'll try reemerging glibc with -mcpu=486 flag overnight instead to make sure it's compatible. Will let you know in the morning, but I doubt it will make any difference. We'll see.
No it did not make any difference. The result remains the same.
hi. i have the same problem... conftest.c exits with code 01. the part that exits is: --------------------------------- if (cd == (iconv_t) -1) exit (1); --------------------------------- btw. there's an easier way to reproduce it. create a simple english text file, and invoke: "iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-2022-JP simple.txt" i get: iconv: conversion to `ISO-2022-JP' is not supported so i think the problem lies here. btw. i have the same configuration as rigo-k ( daily updated gentoo, accept-keywords="~86"
Azarah looks like a problem specific to the last glibc revision. Any idea ?

~x86, had once libiconv, but i removed it and recompiled half the world ( glibc, gcc, etc ) after that iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-2022-jp doesn't work as i've written in my comment above: emerge info: Portage 2.0.46-r7 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/home/portage-tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png qtmt quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tcltk X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis qt opengl mozilla -gnome -gtk gtk2 -java -motif -svga" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -mcpu=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -mcpu=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache" locale: LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= so what's the difference between my gentoo and spiders?
Try the latest -r2 please.
> Try the latest -r2 please. you mean glibc-2.3.1-r2? i emerged it, but still: iconv: conversion to `ISO-2022-JP' is not supported :(
I am having the same problem. (I posted a question regarding that on the gentoo-userlist today) The irritating thing (because its NOT MAKING SENSE AT ALL) is that I already have the latest gal installed without libiconv. (Only guess I can come up with from your discussion below(sorry above) is that I updated glibc after my last install of gal and now it wont build any more) The problem is because I need to re-emerge the same version and now its breaking in the build process. Letme know if you need other info. Spundun spundun (at) isi (dot) edu
i reinstalled my gentoo from the 1.4rc2 live-cd and now iconf -f utf-8 -t iso-2022-jp works! i used an athlon-stage2 tarball => i got glibc2.3.1-rc2. now i emerged glibc2.3.1-rc3, and iconv-jp still works! now i don't know what to think.. maybe installing libiconv breaks iconv so badly that not even unmerging libiconv and re-emerging glibc helps? could anyone who has a working iconv-jp try to install libiconv then uninstall it and try whether iconv-jp still works?
I checked the output from the qpkg -c glibc -v -v -nc from spandan, and the whole setup was flawless, no modified or changed file in the glibc. that would mean that the problem is not with how the libiconv works or not, but in some other component... okay, this is -odd- unable to reproduce it here either :/
Well, it should be fixed (added patch). If not, you had dev-libs/iconv installed, or possibly some other weirdness. I had this specifically with CVS snapshots of glibc-2.3.2. This was caused by the two 'lib*' components in /usr/lib/gconv/ not loading. I had to add /usr/lib/gconv to /etc/ld.so.conf for it to work :/
