After installing a base gentoo system from live-CD I went stright to install Gnome-2.6 (latest beta, 2.5.9x, the masked one). I have this running on two other machines just fine. On the new system I encounter some errors in the ebuilds which are probably related to the facht that I have no previous versions of those packages installed. Nr. 1: glib-2.4 fails during install with a linker error. (sorry, no exact eror msg) solution was to emerge glib-2.3, then updating this to 2.4 and to be save about the linking emerge 2.4 again, now with 2.4 already on the harddrive. Nr. 2: gnome-panel fails during unpack/configure: cannot find some AM Macros related to gtk-doc Solution: emerge gtk-doc I'll update the list during the rest of the emerge (still about 8 packages to go)
i just committed a fix for 1 , please test. for 2 is a fix in bugzilla
sorry but I could not test yet, had some more trouble with the system. But yesterday I encounter a similar issue: I updated some packages, one of them gst-plugins-0.8.0-r1. After the update some gst stuff did not work. so I did emerge -C gst-plugins and try to emerge it again. It fails with gcc -shared libgstvolume_la-gstvolume.lo -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib -L/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.8.0-r1/image//usr/lib -lgstcontrol-0.8 -lgstreamer-0.8 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm -lglib-2.0 -lgstinterfaces-0.8 -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libgstvolume -Wl,-version-script -Wl,.libs/libgstvolume.ver -o .libs/libgstvolume /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgstinterfaces-0.8 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `libgstvolume.la' with the above command before installing it I had already a 0.8 version from BMG-gnome-current before so I wonder why the new ebuild from portage fails?
clean system & bmg ? thats not clean. Use bmg, warranty is void, thats the deal. Search, all things you have reported so far have/had bugs in bugzilla. Please look for those.
