somehow it doesn't include the pthread libs, i don't know why. I do know that you run x86 profile on an amd64 machine & since i haven't seen this before i cannot help myself when i think that is related somehow. I'm actually very much inclined to close this for that reason, cause i really don't want to spend much time figuring out possible weird issues related to an ancient lib.
not fixed..
I'm really new to Gentoo, so it is very likely I'm doing something wrong here. Comments on several forum threads lead me to believe that the code would be more stable, and I would suffer fewer headaches going with x86 as the architecture, instead of amd64. Are some of my make.conf settings counteracting that choice? If that's not a path for me to pursue, should I try a replacement threads package like NPTL? Any advice, or pointers to useful doc, or forum threads, is welcome. Anything to get Gentoo working! Thanks! -Steve-
what is the output of 'glib-config --cflags --libs gthread' ? I think your glib is for some reason compiled incorrectly .. what is the ouput of 'qpkg -l glib-1' (needs gentoolkit ) ?

Is it possible this is the same bug referred to in the "Changes" notes for glibc 2.3.4.20041006? Changes: "13 Oct 2004; Travis Tilley <lv@gentoo.org> glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1.ebuild, glibc-2.3.4.20041006.ebuild: it seems the strange libpthread-not-installed bug was an ebuild quirk and not a portage quirk. it should hopefully be fixed now. i've also added a safety function to 2.3.4.20040808 and 2.3.4.20041006 that will prevent glibc from installing if libpthread is missing, which will likely be expanded further in the future. re-keyworded 2.3.4.20041006 ~amd64."
could well be, although the reporters glibc is not at that exact version. @ lv : is this a glibc problem ?
OK, I've narrowed this down some more on my own. My pthreads library appears to be fine. I can fix the problem by hand on my machine by just doing this: cd /var/tmp/portage/gnome-libs-1.4.2/work/gnome-libs-1.4.2/libgnome gcc -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/include/db1 -Wall -Wunused -o .libs/gnome-dump-metadata gnome-dump.o -L/usr/lib ./.libs/libgnome.so ../support/.libs/libgnomesupport.so /usr/lib/libesd.so -lm /usr/lib/libasound.a /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so -lm -ldb1 /usr/lib/libglib.so -lz -lm -ldl -lpthread Note addition of "-ldl -lpthread" at the end of the command. Continuing to run make in that directory, and then running make all-recursive in the parent directory reveals that this same problem occurs for many Makefile entries. Adding the desired "-ldl -lpthread" entries at the end of the "LIBS=..." Makefile entries in each of the subfolders seems to allow the compilation to succeed. How do I fix Makefile.am, et al in order to make the fix permanent? Changes to Makefile files just get overwritten. Also, this bug is keeping me from using Gentoo for anything other than trying to fix this problem. Any possibility the priority could be upped from P5 if I can help whoever works on it? Thanks! -Steve-
Also, I've changed my system a fair amount.

Is it possible that libesd.so is the cause, and SHOULD contain a reference to libpthread? # ldd /usr/lib/libesd.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0x400ef000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x40120000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40143000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) marienz on the #gentoo IRC seems to think that this is the cause of my problems...
OK. This command allows me to emerge gnome-libs: LDFLAGS="-lpthread -ldl" emerge gnome-libs Is this a solution, or just a band-aid? I can move forward (FINALLY!!!!), but was all of this just the symptom of something else wrong? Also, should a more permanent, less patchwork fix be put in place? Thanks! -Steve-
this could well have been a bug with a glibc version, try upgrading your glibc & rebuilding.
*** Bug 70466 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We could add use ntpl && LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -lpthread -ldl" in the ebuild. Is this a good solution? Can we do it that way? any other solution?
it's a workaround, my problem with that is that nobody really knows why it is suddenly failing and only for a few users.
reporter: do you still have to use a workaround to emerge gnome-libs? ( ie, with newer version of glibc is it okay ? )
no response from reporter, most likely a problem with glibc that has been resolved in a newer version ( or a local issue ).
