Running Gnome 2.8.2 which is ~x86 at the time of writing. when using Gamin with gnome, nautilus is slow to react, gnome takes much longer to load up, browsing directories takes up to 10 seconds just to right click, opening directories, files are the same. I ran an strace on nautilus which I will soon attach, the major attraction there is access("/usr/libexec/gam_server", R_OK|X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "failed to find gam_server\n", 26failed to find gam_server Whilst gamin is installed, its not at /usr/libexec/gam_server hence gam can't start, fam won't start (not installed), nautilus may be polling away... But where is gam? root@zodee-blue sura # slocate gam_server /usr/libexec/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gam_server Interesting... Right now I've symlinked it as a dirty hack to /usr/libexec/gam_server *appears* to work fine. is this an ebuild problem? Tried with gammin 18 and the new ~x86 19 version Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. stopped famd 2. removed from run-level 3. unmerged famd 4. emerged gamin 5.

Created attachment 45700 [details] nautilus strace strace nautilus shows gam_server cannot be found
I've switched back to fam so I can do some work. I believe the synlink trick I didn;t doesn;t work, when I tested it nautilus worked fast, but it didn't react when files were deleted or created. But the issue is the location nautilus is looking for is not found
apologizes, I'm actually running gnome-2.8.1-r1 which is in ~x86 at the moment, however this shouldn't affect the underlying problem
Okay, could be a libtool issue, could you try adding to the ebuild - src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd ${S} libtoolize --force autoconf } see if that helps.
added that above scr_compile. Same issue. When merging: --- /usr/libexec/ >>> /usr/libexec/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gam_server And afterwards.. root@zodee-blue sura # ls /usr/libexec/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gam_server /usr/libexec/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gam_server Also switched backed to gcc 3.3.4 followed by source /etc/profile, then remered gamin same problem.
this looks like a dupe of bug 73382 . Can you follow the instructions in that bug and upgrade gcc-config to see if it fixes things?
Thanks, I installed gcc-config 1.3.7-r6 and reset the compiler and sourced the profile. Gaim still installed incorrectly. Then I unmerged ccache and tried again, and this time it worked. I'm unsure if unmerging ccache caused it to work with the new gcc-config or if I did something minor which I cannot "recall" that fixed it. a search of the system revealed libgtop files, avifile files also incorrect, so reinstalled those packages. Had to remerge gnome-vfs otherwise nautilus crashed when using gamin. So now everything regarding this problem is fixed and luckily the extent of files going under the wrong name wasn't do bad and a qpkg -f /path/to/file revealed the package it came from... perhaps gcc-config should be marked stabled (the newer version?
