Bug 16678 – jed fails to find slang

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrei Ivanov 2003-03-02 14:04:51 UTC]

after upgrading slang to 1.4.8, emerge wanted to upgred jed to 0.99.16-r1, but 
jed compilation failed with:

if /var/tmp/portage/jed-0.99.16-r1/work/jed-0.99-16/src/x86objs/chkslang jed 
10311 ;\
then exit 0; else rm -f /var/tmp/portage/jed-0.99.16-r1/work/jed-0.99-
16/src/x86objs/chkslang; exit 1; fi


******
slang.h does not match slang library version.  Did you install slang as
as a shared library?  Did you run ldconfig?  You have an installation problem
and you will need to check the SLANG variables in the Makefile and properly
set them.  Also try: make clean; make

I really don't think I have other version of slang installed...

please post `emerge info`, `qpkg -I -v slang`, and the config.log file from the build directory

Created attachment 8879 [details]
jed's config.log

i get this problem as well. seems to be something related to the recent slang-1.4.8 upgrade.

i modified the chkslang script in JED to give me more information, and curiously, it says:

"slang.h (10405) does not match slang library version (10408)."

but in /usr/include/slang.h, it says 10408. very weird indeed. looking into this further.

[Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-02 18:08:38 UTC]

ok, for some reason, gcc copies random header files into 

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/include

try removing /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/include/slang.h and then
try again. meanwhile i'll try and find out why the hell gcc is doing this?

let us know if that works after you remove the cached old version of slang.h

[Comment 6 Andrei Ivanov 2003-03-03 03:00:45 UTC]

Yes... it works now :)

Thanks

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-16 13:00:10 UTC]

ok, closing this bug now.

i committed a fix into slang to make sure it removes any older cached header files created by gcc. apparently, the reason is that slang.h is non-ANSI compliant, so gcc > 3 tries to correct this and overrides any slang.h in /usr/include with its own version.

the jed making problems shouldn't reoccur any more.
