Bug 162564 – sys-libs/db-4.3.29-r2 doesn't compile on uclibc (missing rpcgen)

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) 2007-01-17 19:06:38 UTC]

I'm in a uClibc-chroot. While doing my first emerge -e world, sys-libs/db gave me this. I just had to disable my berkdb use flag, but still, sys-libs/db should depend on glibc (which provides rpcgen):
checking for i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc-ranlib... i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc-ranlib
checking for i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc-ranlib... /usr/bin/i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc-ranlib
checking for i686-gentoo-linux-uclibc-rm... no

configure: error: No rpcgen utility found.

Reproducible: Always

for now, install nfs-utils

I have the same problem and I can't install (upgrade) nfs-utils until uclibc-0.9.29 is available. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169907

Now, I need sys-lib/db for the security upgrade of freeradius... :-(

you can copy rpcgen manually out of the builddir ...

I've discovered a temporary workaround for this bug, which is to downgrade to sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1 - it seems to build without any complaints on my system.  I guess the rpcgen dependency was only introduced in a more recent version...

nfs-utils's generates bad output. For example <sys/ioctl.h> is not included even if it should be. See #174393

openrpcgen works. See #182956
