ebuild crashes while building ghostscript as a dependancy for cups. This had happened to me before. Since then i rebuilt the os (today) and the same error occurs. I spent some time on #gentoo, other people said that it has built for them. The system is a dell L550r (p3) with 128M ram. The root fs is on an xfs partition. I mount /boot, /home on seperate ext3 partitions and /usr/local, /var on seperate xfs partitions. 256M swap space. The following is the error: >>> Install ghostscript-7.05.3-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3- r1/image/ category app-text mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/share mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/share/ghostscript mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3- r1/image//usr/share/ghostscript/7.05 mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/bin ./src/instcopy -c -m 755 ./bin/gs /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3- r1/image//usr/bin/gs mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/share mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/share/ghostscript mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3- r1/image//usr/share/ghostscript/7.05 mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//usr/bin /bin/sh -c 'for f in \ gsbj gsdj gsdj500 gslj gslp gsnd \ bdftops dvipdf eps2eps font2c \ pdf2dsc pdf2ps pdfopt pf2afm pfbtopfa printafm \ ps2ascii ps2epsi ps2pdf ps2pdf12 ps2pdf13 ps2pdf14 ps2pdfwr ps2ps wftopfa \ fixmswrd.pl lprsetup.sh pj-gs.sh pv.sh sysvlp.sh unix-lpr.sh ;\ do if ( test -f ./lib/$f );

ghostscript emerges fine for me. What version of portage are you running? if not 2.0.28 then emerge -u portage. How much free space is there on the partition with /var? you need at least 48M free for ghostscript to compile. Try the following (may not work. but it has for me in the past) rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* This will clean out the build area, and hopefully leave everything fresh. Then try to emerge ghostscript by itself. From your error log the ebuild is dying in the install stage. It seems to be compiling correctly. If emerge ghostscript doesn't work, then cd to /usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript and run ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild compile followed by ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild install If they complete without problems, do ebuild ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild qmerge If not, cd to /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/espgs-7.05.3 and make sure that the directory examples/cjk exists. If it does, run make prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr datadir=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share install_prefix=/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/ install examples/cjk doesn't exist then I'll need to look at why it's not being built. In that case can you run emerge ghostscript &> ebuild.log and attached here or email it to me at stubear@gentoo.org and I'll have a dig through it. Stuart Bouyer

Can you try this again from /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/espgs-7.05.3 thanks. Still looking through the log, I'll get back to you as soon as I find anything. Stuart p.s. Can you post your response to bugzilla, I'll be at work and I can't check stubear@gentoo.org there. thanks

Alex, Well we are getting closer. Still not there yet, but we have narrowed the field down to a few lines in the ebuild. This is where I think it is breaking. In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, can you run this command cp -a fonts /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image/usr/share/ghostscript ** That should be all on one line. If this doesn't work (as I suspect) then we are down to 2 possible problems - bad or missing fonts package (but this should be taken care of by the digest) or faulty cp command. To test the 1st idea. check that /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/fonts exists and contains fonts, cd to /usr/portage/distfiles and #ls -l gnu-gs-fonts-* I get -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 796086 Aug 2 07:39 gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1881193 Aug 2 07:38 gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz If your files are differnt then delete them and try remerging, if they are the same size as mine then # md5sum gnu-gs-fonts-* You should get 33457d3f37de7ef03d2eea05a9e6aa4f gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz 1521fab85ca3e8ce3ce781d4970e6c79 gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz If that is the case, then it seems that cp isn't working properly try to remerge fileutils and remerge ghostcript. If all that fails, then you can try to emerge ghostscript with the --usepkg command on the tarball I'll attach to bugzilla, cause I've run out of ideas after that.
tarball seems to be too big for bugzilla, let me know if you want it and I'll email it too you directly (It's 4.8M or so). Hopefully I'll be on irc later, If X and kvirc ever finish compiling. Give me a shout there if you see me (StuBear) Stuart
I thought we had it this morning the longhand make ... seemed to install everything ok or am i wrong? Only thing was that portage never knew it. can portage be manully made aware of the longhand ghostscript install so cups installation may proceed? I followed the last post with these results: >check that /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work/fonts exists and contains >fonts, cd to /usr/portage/distfiles and Yes exists and has files. File sizes and md5sums match as well. remerged fileutils again (emerge sys-apps/fileutils)< is this what you ment? emerge ghostscript still fails...with same error in line 200. Had this problem with another build same computer the first time i built gentoo- 1.2; that's what prompted me to rebuild the os this week. I thought the re- merge of fileutils sounded like a "real" fix. I forget which package was the other package - but the broken copy sounded good. The only things on the system that are not plain vanilla are the xfs fs on some of the partitions and I attempted to use some USE flags...could they cause all this grief??? # Build-time functionality USE="-3dnow -nls mmx sse tcltk aalib tiff alsa flash xml perl mysql innodb odbc gd zeo ldap gtkhtml ipv6 acl ruby" I logged the remerge of fleutils and ghostscripts second attempt.. I'll mail them to stubear@gentoo.org as not to fill up the bug report with lines of potentially nothing if you find anything "good" in them add it as an additional comment i guess? thanks for your help..I'll try you on irc.
Alex, all the error messages point to these lines in the ebuild as being the problem ones cd ${WORKDIR} cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die cd ${S} matches cp: preserving permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/image//us r/share/ghostscript/fonts': Invalid argument in your error log. None of your USE flags could cause this problem (AFAIK). However, I saw in another thread that there are some problems with XFS and low-latency in the kernel. Do you have this option? Also is the partion that /var/tmp on XFS? If so you may need to recompile the kernel without low-latency if you want to use XFS. You may need to hack the ebuild to get it to install. To do this In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript This will copy all the fonts manually. Then cd to /usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript/ and edit ghostscript-7.05.3-r1.ebuild, changing cd ${WORKDIR} cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die cd ${S} to cd ${WORKDIR} #cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die cd ${S} Then emerge ghostscript. It SHOULD emerge correctly now, but doesn't answer the problem, why it didn't in the first place. I have a feeling it has something to do with XFS, but not sure what. Stuart
>In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run > >cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript Returns the same 'Invalid argument' but; Where are font-files suposed to be under '/usr/share/ghostscript' or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' cause I have what seems to be the same font files in both locations? after: > cd ${WORKDIR} > #cp -a fonts ${D}/usr/share/ghostscript || die > cd ${S} the emerge worked as dir the merge of cups...won't know till tuesday if the printer works...box is at work. However i saw this at the end of the cups emerge, is this ok? emerge -s indicates that ghostscript is installed? * * emerge >=app-text/ghostscript-7.05-r1 if you need to print * to a non-postscript printer * >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> net-print/cups-1.1.15-r2 merged. >>> Recording net-print/cups in "world" favorites file... * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. >Also is the partion that /var/tmp on XFS? > Yes >If so you may need to recompile the kernel without low-latency if you want to >use XFS. Do you know the option-name, i looked in my kernel config file, i saw nothing with latency and only a few xfs options, but nothing that looked like what you said? #CONFIG_VXFS_FS is not set CONFIG_XFS_FS=y # CONFIG_XFS_RT is not set CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y # CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI is not set Would it be benificial to tar off /var and reformat the partition as ext3 and drop /var back in place?
>>In /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.3-r1/work, run >> >>cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript > >Returns the same 'Invalid argument' > Okay, this shouldn't happen. It looks like /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts might have odd permissions. >but; > >Where are font-files suposed to be under '/usr/share/ghostscript' >or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' cause I have what seems to be the same font >files in both locations? cp -a fonts /usr/share/ghostscript, should copy the directory 'fonts' to '/usr/share/ghostcript' to create '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts' - all font files should be in here. You HAVE emerged ghostscript now, however it appears that the '/usr/share/ghostscript' or '/usr/share/ghostcript/fonts' have the wrong permissions. If you are feeling brave, you could # emerge unmerge ghostscript to unmerge ghostscript, then make sure that '/usr/share/ghostscript' no longer exists. Then change the ghostscript ebuild back to the original form and try to emerge again. A less brave option would be to change the the permissions on '/usr/share/ghostscript' and/or '/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts'. I don't have access to my machine with ghostscript on it, but they should be something like # ls -ld /usr/share/ghostscript drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 17 Jul 2002 ghostscript if its not drwxr-xr-x then #chmod 755 /usr/share/ghostscript to reset it (do the same for /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts if necessary) if its not root root then #chown root.root /usr/share/ghostscript The final option it to leave it alone cause ghostscript has emerged now, but you might get problems in the future. When I get home, I'll email you with the permissions for all the files on my machine for ghostscript if you like. Stuart
Closing this. seems to be okay now
