which version of libidn do you have installed? net-dns/libidn-0.5.15 should provide idna.h - whois-4.7.20 includes a dependency on net-dns/libidn and _should_ pull it in
I did not explicitly emerge this libidn package. But it appears I do have it (see below). Nonetheless my "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" seems to not be able to find it. emerge --search libidn Searching... [ Results for search key : libidn ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * net-dns/libidn Latest version available: 0.5.15 Latest version installed: 0.5.15
not a bug in whois as noted by ebfe, libidn-0.5.15 provides /usr/include/idna.h: root@vapier 1 whois # file /var/tmp/portage/net-dns/libidn-0.5.15/image/usr/include/idna.h /var/tmp/portage/net-dns/libidn-0.5.15/image/usr/include/idna.h: ASCII C program text
Um, that is not a very satisfactory resolution. Do you have any theory as to how this happened? Do I need to send my entire .bash_history to show that I used nothing but exact steps from the Gentoo handbook to get to my base install, and nothing but a few vanilla emerge commands? (for gnome, gaim, firefox, thunderbird) How can a user, using nothing but emerge commands, arrive at this compile error?
No, I don't have any theory, sorry. Re-emerge libidn.
Um, yes, that is what I did to work around this, I did "emerge --unmerge libidn", then "emerge libidn", and then find / -name idna.h was able to find the file (and subsequent emerge commands worked). However a work around is not the same as a bug solution. It sounds like you're just trying to say "go away". You say "not a bug in whois", fine, I hope you're right. But it is a bug in _something_. Either I'm an idiot and I manually deleted idna.h, which of course isn't the case, or something else is wrong. i.e. are you calling me an idiot, or a liar, or you just can't investigate without more details from me? If it is the latter, what further details of the steps I took from fresh install (which was only a few days ago) would you need to be convinced that something is wrong? Or is it just not a priority and you've got bigger fish to fry (higher priority things to work on) even if I provide full list of every keystroke from a fresh install, to prove this is reproducible? If this is the case, okay, I will not re-open this a third time, but it isn't much of a bug reporting system, and is not consistent with how Gentoo/emerge/portage is described and praised in your Install Guides and Handbook. Sorry, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm trying to help by reporting a bug. What info do you need?
Sorry, I have no idea what did delete your idna.h, and likely won't find out, so just leave this bug alone until you can tell who what did eat the file.
