I get the same error.
I have tried version 2.2.8 by copying the ebuild over... Does this solve the problem?
No. sed: can't read ./intl/po2tbl.sed.in: No such file or directory checking for ODBC files... configure: error: ODBC backend not found !!! ERROR: dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.8 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 54, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message)
try: emerge sync emerge gettext emerge unixODBC This is probably a known gettext bug from what I can tell.
The issue isn't with the sed error (although that is most likely a gettext issue). The issue is that the gODBCConfig configure process is looking for the libodbcinst.so files in /usr and /usr/local, yet they have not been installed. They are still sitting in var/tmp/portage/unixODBC-2.2.8/work/unixODBC-2.2.8/odbcinst/.libs. A quick workaround is to copy the odbcinst/.libs/* to /usr/libs and also copy the .libs dir to /usr/libs. Reemerge and it will work fine. After the emerge, you should be able to remove the libs you moved over.
Sorry, that is that it is looking in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. Ooops.
David: do you have any ideas on how to fix this within the ebuild?
I am sure there is a parameter that can be passed in the ./configure process. I did see a --with-odbc= parameter that may work. Let me take a look. I kind of fixed it on mine and then just got rid of everything. I will take another look.
According to the ebuild, the gnome USE flag is causing that section from being needed.
To clarify, try with USE=-gnome emerge unixODBC
by placing -gnome, then gnome is completely disabled. Is there anyway of fixing it with gnome enabled?
Ok. Let me see what I can find out. I will look further into it in the morning.
Ok. Since it is looking for a directory with a lib subdir, I can't see an easy way of correcting this with just passing a parameter to the configure process. It does install the libodbcinst files after installing. My suggestion is emerge with a USE=-gnome and let it install the files. Then do a USE=gnome afterwards and reemerge to pickup the gnome frontend.
Please open a new bug if this problem persists.
