Description R. Torsten Clay 2004-05-19 15:14:28 UTC

net-tools will not compile...see results below. I do not have problems emerging or compiling any other packages. I have already tried re-emerging gcc and glibc.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-tools
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
>>> Unpacking net-tools-1.60.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/net-tools-1.60-r8/work
>>> Unpacking net-tools-1.60-gentoo-extra-1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/net-tools-1.60-r8/wor\

Comment 1 R. Torsten Clay 2004-05-20 13:03:09 UTC

Finally figured out what was wrong: 

I had a completely different piece of software installed (random number library), which had some headers in /usr/local/include. One of the include files was interface.h, which was taking precedence over the interface.h needed by net-tools.
