Description Aaron Brailsford 2004-04-04 01:55:41 UTC
I've been unable to get openmotif-2.1.30-r4, and now 2.1.30-r5 to emerge on my main PC, however, I was able to get it to emerge on my laptop - and I'm unable to spot what difference is causing this behaviour.

My system was originally an 'x86' arch system, hence trying to emerge 2.1.30-r4, but after I was unsuccsessful in emerging this I re-emerged the entire system to '~x86' and tried again. Still, 2.1.30-r5 would not emerge with an identical problem.

I've tried with various USE flags so far - going as far as having no USE flags at all, as well as trying disabling distcc, ccache, sandbox & userprivs, but none of this has any effect.

Several emerge sync's have been done since I started having the problem to update the portage tree, and I've removed the downloaded openmotif source tarball to force a redownload to no effect.

Any ideas gratefully received at this point :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Built system (see attached world file)
2. Tried to emerge opera (openmotif was a dependency) - failed
3. Tried to emerge openmotif on its own - failed

Actual Results:  
The emerge always fails - see attached logfile (apologies for the ANSI codes in
the log, it was produced with nohup)

Full emerge output from 'emerge -v openmotif'

This is the full output of `emerge -v openmotif` captured by nohup - apologies
for the ANSI gunk at the beginning.

Comment 3 Aaron Brailsford 2004-04-04 03:54:05 UTC
Well now I'm very confused.. and feeling mighty silly for raising a bug :/

Since the last compilation that failed (which was after setting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and `emerge -uUD world`) I've:

Re-set MAKEOPTS to ="j4"
Rebooted
Switched to a 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 kernel & modules
Rebuilt nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx

And then did an `emerge openmotif` and guess what? It worked..

I'm thoroughly confused now, although I have a working openmotif-2.1.30-r5 install.. Odd.. Any clues? I know at least one other person was having the 'same' problem on the forums - and I'm sure he won't want to upgrade to an ~x86 system if he can avoid it..
Comment 4 fuqnbastard 2004-04-12 20:25:10 UTC
The problem is solved by commenting out the MAKE_OPTS option in make.conf (or changing it to somthing bogus like you did, thank god for that mistake :), it's gotta be "-j4'. I don't know about gentoo, I don't know about bugzilla and I don't know about this horrid ncurses webbrowsing, somebody else find out the source of problem ;o)

i will close this until anybody has this problem again ;)
Comment 6 Adam Fabian 2005-01-30 15:18:20 UTC
This bug still exists.  I have encountered it starting with 2004.3 + GRP and using "emerge world."  In this case, it was openmotif-2.1.30-r6.  The work-around in comment #4 worked for me; I commented out the MAKE_OPTS in /etc/make.conf and it merged.
