Bug 50554 – nedit-5.4_pre20030213 and nedit-5.4 compilation failure

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Coome (RETIRED) 2004-05-09 09:10:19 UTC]

When I try to emerge either of the nedit versions above, using either the gcc-3.4.0-r1 of gcc-3.3.3 compilers I get the following error message:

>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-editors/nedit-5.4 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) nedit-5.4-source.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking nedit-5.4-source.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/nedit-5.4/work
>>> Source unpacked.

!!! ERROR: app-editors/nedit-5.4 failed.

I am using xorg-x11, and I suspect this is the problem, because there isn't anything remotely similar in my /usr/X11R6/include tree.

Reproducible: Always

same error msg, again using xorg-x11. Is there a similar header we can symlink to so it compiles ok?

[Comment 2 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-05-10 02:36:15 UTC]

Xm/Xm.h is a Motif header. Somehow you managed to screw /usr/X11R6/include/Xm up. I suspect the transition from Xfree to Xorg wasn't done exactly according to recommendations (in my case, everything remained in place). So just re-emerge openmotif.

[Comment 3 Jonathan Coome (RETIRED) 2004-05-10 03:55:04 UTC]

reemerging openmotif did indeed solve the problem.

However, as for screwing /usr/X11R6/include/Xm up, I didn't make the transition from Xfree to Xorg in the first place - this is a fresh install.  So for whatever reason the openmotif headers were either never installed in /usr/X11R6/include or the xorg installation removed them.  I haven't touched them (and the system has only been installed for two days!)

[Comment 4 Rob Kruus 2004-05-13 08:07:19 UTC]

Same issue here, but on an athlon-xp.  Clean install etc.

[Comment 5 Rob Kruus 2004-05-13 08:09:42 UTC]

Damn, hit submit too fast, re-emerging motif didn't help.  I'll try xorg as well

[Comment 6 Rob Kruus 2004-05-13 09:37:27 UTC]

I like smoking crack :-)
It works now.

[Comment 7 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-05-24 05:26:09 UTC]

fine, so we can close it :)
