Description Helmut Jarausch 2015-07-08 12:11:00 UTC

The configure script of net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6 contains the following
Python code

   proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(CC) + ['-dumpversion'],
                           stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
   version = tuple(map(int, proc.communicate()[0].split('.')))

This fails if the version string contains non-digits like (here)

5.2.0-alpha20150630

A possible fix is to replace the computation of the version tuple by

version = proc.communicate()[0].split('.')
version[2]= version[2].split('-')[0]
version = tuple(map(int, version))

Can you attach the full build.log and config.log too.

Thanks. emerge --info would be great. I'll have a look at fixing this upstream once I have more info.
