Koffice errors out with " /usr/i586-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.2 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status " I don't know much about those -l vars during compilation, so i hope someone a like more system-dev-like will know a fix :o) I need it to type my thesis.. :o)
Confirmed. This error happens with python 2.2 emerged (works ok with <=2.1). Several people (incl. Verwilst) have been working on it, or might have been working on it. I can't do much myself right now until I regain full internet conenctivity (tomorrow). For now I've tried to find the library that provides =lpython2.2 but failed. Python doesn't install any .so files at all.Anyway, until this is resolved, you can use a temporary fix:emerge dev-lang/python/python-2.1.1.r4 (this is the latest 2.1 python as of this writing). Koffice should then emerge. After emerging koffice, you should emerge dev-lang/python/python-2.2-r4 again (the latest 2.2) as there are file conflicts between the two versions and some things may depend on the newer one.Or just wait for this to be fixed, I'll try to find a solution for this today if I can but it'll probably be tomorrow.
OK, I've committed a temporary fix: -lpython2.2 is resolved by having -L /usr/lib/python2.2/config as an --with-extra-libs parameter. But the correct solution would be for python-config --libs to say that as well. I'll investigate the python side, meanwhile koffice compiles again.
OK, since I've actually fixed this, I'll close the bug. The reason I didn't close it before is that I don't particularly like the solution - it lives in the koffice ebuild but should IMHO live in python-config itself. But that's irrelevant now as the situation isn't liekly to change just yet (some other problems). Anyway the bug is closing.
