Bug 63790 – gift-0.11.7 does not install libgiftproto

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steven Wilson 2004-09-12 09:27:22 UTC]

The gift-0.11.7 ebuild does not install libgiftproto.so. When run, giftd produces this error message:

giftd: error while loading shared libraries: libgiftproto.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Furthermore, the gift protocol plugins are unable to build without this file.

It appears that people who successfully use this ebuild may actually be using a libgiftproto.so left behind by another build, as mentioned in this forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=215296

During the build process, some unusual messages are produced by libtool:

libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /usr/lib'
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libgiftproto.la'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgift

[Comment 4 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-09-22 16:05:43 UTC]

masked in portage as many users are complaining on IRC. Anyone found a fix for this yet?

[Comment 5 Roie Kerstein 2004-09-22 23:08:45 UTC]

Yes.
For some reason, re-emerging gift solved the problem.

[Comment 6 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-09-23 07:22:44 UTC]

could everyone please try gift-0.11.7-r1 now in portage?

[Comment 7 Steven Wilson 2004-09-24 06:07:40 UTC]

0.11.7-r1 still does not install libgiftproto on the first emerge, but does on a reemerge.

This file contains the files required for the plugins to build

I've extracted a few files from a debian package and from an rpm and putted
them together into this tarball. Make sure to unpack it in /. Try emerging the
plugin again, and it should work.

[Comment 10 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-11-23 12:45:10 UTC]

does the same thing happen in 0.11.8?

[Comment 11 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-12-10 10:04:54 UTC]

Assuming this bug is resolved in recent versions; 0.11.7 removed from portage in favor of 0.11.8*. Please test.
