see #10271 same exact probleam I see that the missing bracket patch isn't applied int 4.2.1-r2 ebuild, while it was applied int 4.2.1-r1 emerge info output Portage 2.0.46-r6 (default-ppc-1.0, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5-r4,2.2.5-r7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.19-r6 ppc GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/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="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage.local.gtk21_rc1" USE="png ppc gnome-libs arts tetex aalib guile scanner oss slang readline gpm berkdb gdbm tcpd pam libwww ssl mitshm perl python esd gif imlib sdl oggvorbis gnome gtk X qt kde motif mozilla truetype vte alsa bonobo cdr crypth dga dvd evo fbcon flash gb gphoto2 gtkhtml imap java jpeg mpeg nls opengl -pcmcia pdflib quicktime wmf xml xml2 xv zlib spell -doc" COMPILER="" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -mmultiple -mstring" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mcpu=750 -mpowerpc-gfxopt -mmultiple -mstring" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc ~ppc" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="ccache"
the missing bracket patch is applied, sorry, it is in the patches tarball
Lapo: Is this valid or not? If it is valid please try again today (I updated the -r2 ebuild a little while ago) also if it fails some outout woud be good :)
Mark: mark this one i valid and close, this ebuild is still failing to compile here, but I don't really have any ideas o what cause it, I get plenty of errors and really don't know why. I believe my build env is somewhat screwed here, this machine really needs a reinstall.... Sorry for the time you wasted...
