• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description ivo welch 2004-10-09 08:00:22 UTC]

...just in case whoever is handling helix does not have an amd64 system, this may be a useful report.  this is what happens during compile:

>>> md5 src_uri ;-) helixplayer-1.0_beta1-beta-source.tar.bz2
>>> Unpacking source...

marking bug as invalid since it doesnt include a fix and the ebuild is marked -amd64 (meaning, known to be broken on amd64). blame the helix devs. their build system fails if uname -m doesnt return something 32bit x86, if you manage to get that far.
