Bug 17426 – Compiling of pwlibs fails

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tony Murray 2003-03-13 06:01:59 UTC]

I have never emerged pwlib before, just to set things straight.

I cannot compile pwlib, I have tried with and without the ssl use flag.
I hava openssl 0.9.6i on both my laptop and desktop.
It compiled on my laptop, but not on my desktop.
The main differnece is desktop uses ~x86, the laptop is just x86.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge pwlib
Actual Results:  
Here is the error:

Just tried compiling it on a glibc-2.3.1-r2 system and ran into a different error:
/var/tmp/portage/pwlib-1.4.7/work/pwlib/lib/obj_linux_x86_r/asner.o: file not re
cognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

With glibc-2.3.2 it compiled fine. Retrying pwlib .10 on both systems.
Stay tuned.

[Comment 2 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-03-14 09:51:51 UTC]

Version 1.4.10 compiles on both systems. Could you please try?

[Comment 3 Alexander Minges 2003-03-15 10:04:43 UTC]

It seems as if this bug has something to do with expat 1.95.6.
I wasn't able to compile pwlib 1.4.7 and 1.4.10 until I downgraded from expat 1.95.6 to 1.95.5-r1. That fixed it for me. Perhaps you could give it a try?

[Comment 4 Tony Murray 2003-03-15 23:51:46 UTC]

Downgrading to expat-1.95.5-r1 solved it.
By the way it compiled on both glib-2.3.2 and glib-2.3.1-r1...
I guess it is an expat bug.

[Comment 5 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-03-17 03:03:05 UTC]

Yes, it's an expat problem and I didn't have it because I used the stable version. 
Patch is on the way into portage. Please try 1.95.6-r1 as soon as available.
