Bug 652626 – app-emulation/virtualbox[vboxwebsrv] fatal error: xlocale.h: No such file or directory

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel M. Weeks 2018-04-05 20:28:29 UTC]

Full errors below. While this manifests in virtualbox, it seems to be the fault of gsoap since glibc 2.26 dropped xlocale.h. This is on a system with net-libs/gsoap-2.8.63 and sys-libs/glibc-2.26-r5.

Don't do that.

Have you tried to recompile gsoap?

I am now getting probably the same error while updating from 5.2.20 to 5.2.22:

Recompile of gsoap did not fix this issue for me.

It seems that app-emulation/virtualbox-5.2.22 [vboxwebsrv] now should depend on >=net-libs/gsoap-2.8.70. After update to unstable gsoap-2.8.70 i could compile virtualbox 5.2.22.
