• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andreas Eriksson 2003-10-16 04:00:23 UTC]

I'm trying to emerge tkabber, a jabber client. tclxml-expat-2.4 is one of
tkabber's dependencies, and it won't compile.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge tkabber

Actual Results:  
(some things are translated from Swedish, so it may not be what it actually says
in the english version)
gcc -pipe -shared -o libTclexpat2.4.so tclexpat.o xmltok.o xmlrole.o xmlwf.o

I tried emerging tkabber myself with the same error message using the same
system configuration.

[Comment 2 Christian Gut 2003-10-20 04:53:57 UTC]

same here, but worked on my WS with kernel 2.6. Don't know yet what the difference
is.

[Comment 3 Christian Gut 2003-10-20 05:24:31 UTC]

think i got it. libtclxml installs a defective ls /usr/lib/TclxmlConfig.sh
Just replace every occurence of "NONE" by /usr and youre done. Dont know
exactly what to do with the other wrong paths /var/tmp/portage... But it
works only with those NONE thingies..

[Comment 4 Sergiy Borodych 2003-10-20 06:38:55 UTC]

See Bug#: 30057
But this patch not in sync :(

[Comment 5 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2003-11-16 04:24:45 UTC]

I got it working by doing a:
ln -s Tclxml2.4/libTclxmlstub2.4.a libTclxmlstub2.4.so
in /usr/lib

But this is absolutely no permanent solution...

[Comment 6 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2003-11-26 03:39:21 UTC]

it was fixed in the 2.5 tclxml ebuild, but not the 2.4, now its fixed
