When I'm emerging aspell-0.50.3 (as a dependency of mod_php) the compilation fails with the following error message: In file included from data.cpp:8: data.hpp: In constructor `aspeller::DataSet::FileName::FileName()': data.hpp:49: error: uninitialized member 'aspeller::DataSet::FileName::name' with 'const' type 'const char* const' data.hpp: In constructor ` aspeller::DataSet::FileName::FileName(acommon::ParmString)': data.hpp:50: error: uninitialized member 'aspeller::DataSet::FileName::name' with 'const' type 'const char* const' data.hpp: In copy constructor `aspeller::DataSet::FileName::FileName(const aspeller::DataSet::FileName&)': data.hpp:51: error: uninitialized member 'aspeller::DataSet::FileName::name' with 'const' type 'const char* const' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge aspell Actual Results: emerge of aspell failed Expected Results: successful emerge of aspell Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.6) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
It would appear that this version of aspell was removed from the portage tree approximately 10 hours ago. Do an 'emerge sync', try again, and report back sucess or failure.
Yeah, that fixed it. Thanks a lot for your help Peter.
