Bug 41160 – courier-imap won't compile (libresolve doesn't have function res_query)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert J. Palmer 2004-02-10 14:02:40 UTC]

When I try to emerge courier-imap version 2.1.2-r2 I get errors about libresolve not having the function res_query white the configure script is executing. This makes the configure script abort and hence I can't compile courier-imap

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge courier-imap

Actual Results:  
checking whether -lresolv is needed for res_query... configure: error: Cannot find function res_query

Expected Results:  
The configure script should have either found that it needed libresolve or not and went on to make a 
Makefile.

sounds like something is screwed on your system ... but you didnt provide much info

we'll need `emerge info` and the config.log from the build dir

i can't produce this error on x86, and I still need your config.log file to try and diagnose it for your system.

[Comment 6 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-03-10 04:42:37 UTC]

I've added a patch to courier-imap that allows the package to compile on amd64.

[Comment 7 Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-03-11 03:02:57 UTC]

Still same behaviour.courier imap 2.1.2 r1

Johnny

PS: where is your patch? In Portage?

[Comment 8 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-03-12 05:50:11 UTC]

Please attach full emerge output and we'll have a look.

[Comment 9 Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-03-12 07:16:12 UTC]

Well,

I'm sorry, but the problem was my portage overlay.

The build went fine now.

Is there an easy solution to use some unstable packages, something like /etc/portage/package.unmask, for the arch keyword?

problem with user's portage overlay... closing.
