Not sure whether this one qualifies as a duplicate of bug 13054. I experienced three problems with building xemacs-21.4.12. I managed to work around the problems on my system. Trying to build xemacs-21.4.12, at first I got the following failure. I have gdmb installed as well as two versions of 'db' (brought in by Perl 5.6, as far as I understand). checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm... no Error: Required GNU DBM support cannot be provided. !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.12 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 118, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) This failure is caused by the flag "--with-database=gnudbm". If I comment that flag out of the ebuild, the configure script procedes, but fails shortly thereafter with the following: checking for dlopen in -lc... checking for dlopen in -ldl... checking for shl_load in -ldld... no checking for dld_init in -ldld... no configure: warning: Module support cannot be provided. *** PANIC *** configure forgot how to build working executables! *** This is most commonly due to an unforeseen environment, causing *** configure to incorrectly compute the sequence of libraries to link. *** Please examine the tail of config.log for runtime errors. *** Pay special attention to the -l flags, and perhaps -I and -L. *** Often adding or removing explicit options in the configure *** invocation can work around this kind of problem. If so, please *** report it as a bug to xemacs-beta@xemacs.org. *** *** Other possible causes are inability to write to the file system *** (bogus permissions or disk full) or a misconfiguration of the dynamic *** linker. On Linux, check /etc/ld.conf and rerun ldconfig if *** necessary. On other systems, try telling configure where to find *** the shared libraries using the --site-runtime-libraries option. *** *** Another way to shoot yourself in the foot is to specify *** --with-FEATURE when FEATURE is not actually installed on your *** system. Don't do that. !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.12 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 118, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) Examining the config.log file, it seems that the above failure is caused by libldap not being found: configure:15152: gcc -o conftest -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wsign-compare -Wshadow -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -ltiff -ljpeg -lcompface -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ltermcap -lcurses -lldap -llber -lm 1>&5 /usr/lib/libldap.so: undefined reference to `__dn_expand' /usr/lib/libldap.so: undefined reference to `__res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 15148 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" int main(int c,char *v[]){return 0;} So I tried merging with "-ldap" in the USE flags, and the configure stage was completed without errors. The third failure came during the compilation, and is again related to db: gcc -c -mcpu=i686 -O -pipe -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/X11R6/include database.c In file included from /usr/include/ndbm.h:42, from database.c:71: /usr/include/db1/db.h:77: conflicting types for `DBT' /usr/include/db.h:88: previous declaration of `DBT' /usr/include/db1/db.h:92: conflicting types for `DB_BTREE' /usr/include/db.h:461: previous declaration of `DB_BTREE' /usr/include/db1/db.h:92: conflicting types for `DB_HASH' /usr/include/db.h:462: previous declaration of `DB_HASH' /usr/include/db1/db.h:92: conflicting types for `DB_RECNO' /usr/include/db.h:463: previous declaration of `DB_RECNO' /usr/include/db1/db.h:92: warning: redefinition of `DBTYPE' /usr/include/db.h:466: warning: `DBTYPE' previously declared here /usr/include/db1/db.h:118: redefinition of `struct __db' /usr/include/db1/db.h:128: warning: redefinition of `DB' /usr/include/db.h:83: warning: `DB' previously declared here database.c: In function `berkdb_get': database.c:407: warning: passing arg 3 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c:407: warning: passing arg 4 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c: In function `berkdb_put': database.c:446: warning: passing arg 3 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c:446: warning: passing arg 4 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c: In function `berkdb_remove': database.c:468: warning: passing arg 3 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c: In function `berkdb_map': database.c:513: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c:513: warning: passing arg 3 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c:515: warning: passing arg 2 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type database.c:515: warning: passing arg 3 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type make[1]: *** [database.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xemacs-21.4.12/work/xemacs-21.4.12/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.12 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 122, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) The above got solved by specifying "--with-database=berkdb" in the ebuild.

still an issue?
