While emerging gnome, gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1 fails to install This happened to me using GCC 2.95.3-r7 on both the x86 version of Gentoo & the PPC version. Switching to GCC 3.1 on the x86 seemed to have *fixed* this problem, but many users wont be wanting to recompile all over again with gcc 3.1 Here is the more detailed error : mkdir /var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/image/usr/share/gnome/help/user- guide/C/figures make install-data-hook make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/work/gnom e2-user-docs-1.93/gnome2-user-guide/C' Makefile:329: warning: overriding commands for target `omf_timestamp' Makefile:259: warning: ignoring old commands for target `omf_timestamp' Makefile:340: warning: overriding commands for target `install-data-hook-omf' Makefile:265: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install-data-hook-omf' /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/image//usr /share/omf/user-guide mkdir /var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/image/usr/share/omf mkdir /var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/image/usr/share/omf/user-guide for file in gosbasic-C.omf goscustaccess-C.omf goscustdesk-C.omf goscustlookandf eel-C.omf gosdeskback-C.omf goseditmainmenu-C.omf gosmetacity-C.omf gosnautilus- C.omf gosoverview-C.omf gospanel-C.omf gosstartsession-C.omf; do \ /bin/install -c -m 644 $file.out /var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93- r1/image//usr/share/omf/user-guide/$file; \ done /bin/install: cannot stat `gosbasic-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `goscustaccess-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `goscustdesk-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `goscustlookandfeel-C.omf.out': No such file or direct ory /bin/install: cannot stat `gosdeskback-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `goseditmainmenu-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `gosmetacity-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `gosnautilus-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `gosoverview-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `gospanel-C.omf.out': No such file or directory /bin/install: cannot stat `gosstartsession-C.omf.out': No such file or directory make[4]: *** [install-data-hook-omf] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/work/gnome 2-user-docs-1.93/gnome2-user-guide/C' make[3]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/work/gnome 2-user-docs-1.93/gnome2-user-guide/C' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/work/gnome 2-user-docs-1.93/gnome2-user-guide/C' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome2-user-docs-1.93-r1/work/gnome 2-user-docs-1.93/gnome2-user-guide' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/gnome-extra/gnome2-user-docs/gnome2-user-do cs-1.93-r1.ebuild .
No file is compiled by gcc in this package... Please try to emerge clean scrollkeeper and emerge scrollkeeper again. (be sure to get >=scrollkeeper-0.3.10-r1 ) Then emerge gnome2-user-docs and see if it works.
Unmerging scrollkeeper and re-emerging it solved this issue. its just odd that it happens only on machines with gcc2.95 :/ must be a scrollkeeper issue then, not sure anyhow, thanks for the tip :)
