It's not my bug, so I will not be able to provide any info. This bug is created as a result of this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-748898-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-mplib.html mplib's docs confirm, that it does need a local copy of ctangle. I wonder how it got triggered, I upgraded to texlive, while it was still masked - to trigger this, a fresh install is probably needed.
Hello, the error was posted by me on the forum ;-) Since mplib is also part of the problem, I'll tried to compile it manually: ..... config.status: executing depfiles commands make -j3 KPSESRCDIR=/usr/include/kpathsea KPSELIB=-lkpathsea -j1 make all-am make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/work/mplib-beta-1.110/src/texk/web2c/mpdir' /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea/.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea -march=athlon-fx -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT avl.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/avl.Tpo -c -o avl.lo avl.c mkdir .libs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea/.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea -march=athlon-fx -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT avl.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/avl.Tpo -c avl.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/avl.o x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea/.. -I/usr/include/kpathsea -march=athlon-fx -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -MT avl.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/avl.Tpo -c avl.c -o avl.o >/dev/null 2>&1 mv -f .deps/avl.Tpo .deps/avl.Plo ctangle psout.w psout.c make[1]: ctangle: Command not found make[1]: *** [psout.c] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/work/mplib-beta-1.110/src/texk/web2c/mpdir' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: dev-tex/mplib-1.110 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 1112: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake KPSESRCDIR=/usr/include/kpathsea KPSELIB=-lkpathsea -j1 || die "failed to build mplib" * The die message: * failed to build mplib * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/environment'. * >>> Failed to emerge dev-tex/mplib-1.110, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/build.log' * Messages for package dev-tex/mplib-1.110: * * ERROR: dev-tex/mplib-1.110 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 1112: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake KPSESRCDIR=/usr/include/kpathsea KPSELIB=-lkpathsea -j1 || die "failed to build mplib" * The die message: * failed to build mplib * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/environment'. *
I fail to see what's wrong here: texlive pdepends on luatex luatex depends on mplib mplib depends on tex-base tex-base depends on tl-core the correct merge order shall be: tl-core tex-base mplib luatex The forum post linked here doesn't list tex-base as emerge -pv texlive but lists tl-core which cant be correct. If you have broken your system by putting tex-base in package.provided or emerging -O1 it then you're on your own and portage has no real way to know what to do. Please reopen if you think this analysis is wrong and with the output of emerge -pv texlive and emerge -pv tex-base.
Problem solved!! I found package.provided still contained app-text/tetex-11.84-r3. This was from the days when texlive was still beta.
