Bug 41379 – kdebase fails to build, looks for fam in /usr/local/lib

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jean-Michel Smith 2004-02-12 08:09:32 UTC]

kdebase fails to emerge on a freshly built system.  It is looking for libfam in /usr/local/lib, while the (now working) fam ebuild places it in /usr/lib.  This is a fresh install (not an upgraded system)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to emerge kde
2. kdebase fails to build


Actual Results:  
Build fails with the following:

[ ... ]

grep: /usr/local/lib/libfam.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/local/lib/libfam.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/local/lib/libfam.la' is not a valid libtool archive

make: *** [all] Error 2

!!! ERROR: kde-base/kdebase-3.2.0 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 127, Exitcode 2
!!! died running emake, kde_src_compile:make


Expected Results:  
kde should build fine, fam 2.7.0 is installed correctly.

what does `ls /usr/lib/*fam*` show ?

Oops, sorry, please ignore the extraneous libfame stuff:  Libfam related files are:

could you attach the .la file please ?

/usr/lib/libfam.la

Absolutely!  Here it is...

[Comment 6 Jean-Michel Smith 2004-02-12 09:03:27 UTC]

Created attachment 25485 [details]
CORRECTED libfam attachment

Ignore the preceding ... it was from my local workstation, NOT the machine
having trouble!  Sorry, THIS ATTACHMENT is the CORRECT libfam.la file
(explicitly copied over)

[Comment 7 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-02-19 06:07:43 UTC]

this was a fam problem that was fixed a few days ago.  grepping some of the .la files in /usr/lib and /usr/kde/3.x/lib and seeing if they point to the wrong fam location.  you can just edit them by hand and it should fix the problem.
