Bug 38295 – vte-0.11.10 fails to emerge while attempting to emerge it as a dependency during a GNOME emerge session.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Lamb 2004-01-15 08:36:24 UTC]

vte-0.11.10 failed to emerge, apparently while running the Makefile in the vte-0.11.10/python directory.  I have lost the exact error message, but it complained that it cannot link against -lvte.  This would occur when I ran "emerge gnome" and it reached the vte stage of the emerge, and also when I attempted to "emerge vte."  I resolved this problem on my system by going to the vte-0.11.10 build directory under /var/tmp/portage/vte-0.11.10 and running "make && make install" by hand; then running "emerge vte" once more.  This is the first time I have tried to emerge gnome from scratch on this particular machine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome -or- emerge vte from scratch.
Actual Results:  
The emerge session for vte failed with an unexpected error, indicating that it
could not link the library indicated by the compiler flag "-lvte"

Expected Results:  
vte should have compiled and installed.

I was running nothing other than dhcpcd, sshd, and the stock set of background
processes that Gentoo installs by default.  The computer the problem occurred on
is a stock Dell Latitude C810.  I was using the built-in 3COM ethernet adapter.
 I am running kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r8, and I also have the nvidia kernel module
installed.

attach the output of the breaking build and paste your 'emerge info'

@ reporter, no reply to @2 so closing INVALID (read NOTABUG, i can't say this is a bug without further evidence)

@ robby, different problem, different bug . Open a new bug and attach the _full_ output, you miss the actual useful info in this c&p.

Could somebody please reopen?

I have the same problem, and I will reply faster ;-).

Well, I made it quick and dirty.

I took a binary package, installed it, and reemerged vte.

Works.

But we should find a solution.
