Bug 344501 – dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r2 ebuild fails

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John L. Poole 2010-11-07 13:07:46 UTC]

emerge of dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r2 fails with:
          CCCMD =  i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector  -std=c89 -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -Wall -ansi -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wc++-compat
perl.c: In function 'perl_construct':

perl.c: In function 'S_init_ids':
perl.c:3693: warning: ignoring return value of 'write', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
make: *** [perlmini.o] Error 1


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-lang/perl


Actual Results:  
 * ERROR: dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r2 failed:
 *   emake failed
 *
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  54:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 2856:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake -j1 || die "emake failed"
 *


Expected Results:  
installation of perl

This is a new Gentoo install (11/4/2010) on a Dell Inspiron i17 laptop; perl failed then, so I added ">dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r1" to /etc/portage/package.mask and successfully installed the prior version 5.12.2-r1.

Also, my machine name is "themis"; the error message seems to be arising around the hostname.

HOSTNAME="themis" ~ # cat /etc/hostname
HOSTNAME="themis"

HOSTNAME="themis" ~ #

  emerge -pqv =dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r2 
produces:
  [ebuild     U ] dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r2 [5.12.2-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm -build

[Comment 6 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2010-11-07 14:43:03 UTC]

Please add `uname -a` and config.sh from your build dir
(/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/perl-5.12.2*/work/perl-5.12.2*/config.sh)

It looks like the same problem as in bug #342451.

[Comment 9 John L. Poole 2010-11-07 18:22:58 UTC]

The error was caused by the fact that I had in my /etc/hostname:

  HOSTNAME="themis"

I changed /etc/hostname to:

  themis

and rebooted and successfully emerged perl.
