Portage fails to compile xemacs whenever the ldap useflag is on. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ebuild /usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.12.ebuild clean unpack compile Actual Results: checking for ndbm.h... yes checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm... no Error: Required GNU DBM support cannot be provided. !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.12 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 164, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) Here's the tail of config.log: configure:13846: checking for ndbm.h configure:13854: gcc -E -I/usr/X11R6/include conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out configure:13884: checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm configure:13900: gcc -o conftest -march=i586 -O3 -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -lgdbm -lX m -ltiff -ljpeg -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lgpm -lncurses -lldap -llber -lm 1>&5 /usr/lib/libldap.so: undefined reference to `__dn_expand' /usr/lib/libldap.so: undefined reference to `__res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 13889 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char dbm_open(); int main() { dbm_open() ; return 0; } Workaround: 1. USE="-ldap" ebuild /usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.12.ebuild clean unpack compile

Workaround doesn't work for me: checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking for ncurses/term.h... no checking for ncurses/curses.h... no checking for database support checking for ndbm.h... no Error: Required DBM support cannot be provided. !!! ERROR: app-editors/xemacs-21.4.12 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 166, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) # locate ndbm.h /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h /usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h /usr/include/ndbm.h Are all these versions of ndbm.h confusing it? Also, why can't it find curses.h? It's in /usr/include, but there is no /usr/include/ncurses directory... Stephen
Robert, can you check the status of this one?
fixed on version 21.4.15
