Anything I can do in order to solve this bug ? On my others gentoo, I really like qlop/genlop... and I don't understand what's different here ?

Genlop has many reasons to not work properly. The bug would be legitimate it "work some times, and some times not on a given box". But, bug author says: "it never works always on the same box". Please, close bug "INVALID", and check for why it would bug on *this* machine: - is proc mounted ? (are you in chroot ? ) - is /var writable ? - are log daemon running ? - are all portage/emerge/genlop input and output log files on disk ? /proc is required to list running processes. /var is required to access logs, and compute estimations. Last time i had this exacte message "Error: no working merge found." ... it was because i was in chroot, and had forgotten to mount /proc. To me, not a bug => INVALID. Otherwise, please CLOSE the bug until the author provides MOREINFO. This discussion would have better place in forum, or chat, than BTS. Description of problem is not clear enough.
Unfortunately, : 1) proc is mounted 2) drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2008-01-28 14:44 var drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2008-10-20 13:36 log 3) root 2500 0.0 0.0 16796 976 ? Ss Oct20 1:24 /usr/sbin/syslog-ng 4) yes all output are on disks 5) and no, I am not chrooted... That's say : it's nice to have some new about this :-)
I was about to ask you a strace ... but from memory, genlop is a script, not a binary. Could you try to activate some verbose/debug option in the script ? For example, if it was a bash script (which i know is not the case, but just IE), add "-x" to the first line of script ...
I would if I know how to do the same in perl... Right now I have gcc-4.3.2 which recompil and still the error : "!!! Error: no working merge found. (the -c option only works if there is an ongoing compilation, see manpage)" But tail -10 /var/log/emerge.log : 1224836047: ::: completed emerge (1 of 8) sys-fs/ntfs3g-1.5012 to / 1224836047: >>> emerge (2 of 8) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1 to / 1224836050: === (2 of 8) Cleaning (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1::/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1.ebuild) 1224836050: === (2 of 8) Compiling/Merging (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1::/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1.ebuild) 1224836067: === (2 of 8) Merging (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1::/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1.ebuild) 1224836334: === (2 of 8) Post-Build Cleaning (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1::/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1.ebuild) 1224836334: ::: completed emerge (2 of 8) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1 to / 1224836334: >>> emerge (3 of 8) sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2 to / 1224836336: === (3 of 8) Cleaning (sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2::/usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-4.3.2.ebuild) 1224836336: === (3 of 8) Compiling/Merging (sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2::/usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-4.3.2.ebuild) date +%s gives me 1224836621 which seems fine... And yes, gcc is still compiling...
Try this first: edit /usr/bin/genlop and change the first line for: #!/usr/bin/perl -w then try this: /usr/bin/genlop -i gcc It should fail, and say why. Please also confirm that other options than -c also bug. -c specifically tries to determine what are the running process, and thus, need /proc more than other features. -i and -t only need the logs. If those two also fail, then, the problem is likely to be around /var or /etc. perl -w is said to be a debug mode. And please, give a COMPLEET copy/paste of your console, something like this: ****************************************************** moon-gen-3 ~ # /usr/bin/genlop -i system !!! Error: no merge found for 'system' moon-gen-3 ~ # /usr/bin/genlop -i gcc * sys-devel/gcc Total builds: 3 Global build time: 3 hours, 57 minutes and 52 seconds. Average merge time: 1 hour, 19 minutes and 17 seconds. Info about currently installed ebuild: * sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 Install date: Mon Feb 25 12:47:44 2008 USE="" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-mp -pipe" moon-gen-3 ~ # vim /usr/bin/genlop moon-gen-3 ~ #
The exact error message from genlop should be: !!! Error: no working merge found. (the -c option only works if there is an ongoing compilation, see manpage) and it's actually wrong. The "no merge found" is obviously correct, but the reason why it hadn't found any merge is wrong. There are cases where genlop won't find the current merge even if you are not chrooted, proc mounted, and so on. Take a look at bug #185507 where JeR lists such cases and check if one of them applies to you.
:-) The "bug" for me was in make.conf feature... An hudge thank to comment #8 !!!
