Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Gentoo 2008 beta 2 using console installer
2. Set up USE-flags
3. emerge -uv world

Comment 3 D Nelson 2008-06-12 20:23:42 UTC
I had the same problem (cannot find -lcrmf) emerging the package xulrunner. I also installed from the 2008.0 beta2. When I looked in /usr/lib/nss/, libcrmf.a was missing. I checked on another computer that libcrmf.a belongs to dev-libs/nss and was present in /usr/lib/nss. It appears that libcrmf.a is not properly installed from the 2008.0 beta2.

To fix the problem I did

emerge --oneshot =dev-libs/nss-3.11.9

I then looked again in /usr/lib/nss, and libcrmf.a was now present. This supports my hypothesis that 2008.0 beta2 doesn't properly install this file.

I then re-emerged xulrunner successfully, so this appears to be a fix.

To be candid, I have had several problems with the 2008.0 beta2 set, both the minimal install and the live CD: Another library file was missing for which I had to reinstall glibc. (I found the answer to that problem on one of the forums.) The environment seems to be corrupted (using printenv) with several lines of garbage characters that seem to cause problems in compiles. (I submitted a bug report on this, but the maintainer says he can't reproduce the problem.) I hope other users submit bug reports that will lead to a better release candidate.

Sorry to be negative. Gento is still my favorite distribution, despite all the press that Ubuntu is getting.

Comment 5 Sam 2008-07-21 19:40:48 UTC
I have the same problem after a fresh install from the GUI installer on the 2008.0-r1 amd64 LiveCD.

I tried updating Firefox 
[ebuild     U ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.15 [2.0.0.14] USE="-bindist*" 

and after an hour i get the same errors. Thanks for the advice, listing /usr/lib/nss only showed a few files, but re-emerging nss populated that directory a bit more. 

Now running the emerge update worked.


Comment 6 Adam Van Ymeren 2008-08-23 01:44:56 UTC
I had the same problem installing from 2008.0-beta2.

Is this bug still present when using the 2008.0-r1 install cd?  If so I don't think it should be marked as resolved.

It's still there in 2008.0-r1
