Bug 75092 – jpeg-6b-r4 fails because of missing 'local' copy of 'libtool' binary

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Couzens 2004-12-20 12:38:30 UTC]

jpeg-6b-r4 fails because of missing 'local' copy of 'libtool' binary 

When attempting to emerge it fails citing an inability to recognize 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' because it can't find a copy of 'libtool' to run, even though there is a copy in '/usr/bin/' on my system.  Copying 'libtool' from '/usr/bin' to '/var/tmp/portage/jpeg-6b-r3/work/jpeg-6b-r3' quicky solved the problem and it builds and installs fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Errrr... replace 'r3' with 'r4' where appropriate... .small typo on my part

I am seeing the problem too (also on amd64).  The fix is to modify line 1532 of the "configure" file to remove the preceding "./".  After that change it compiles fine.

The patch from comment #2 needs to be sent to the "http://www.ijg.org/" people to fix the root cause of gentoo's brokenness.  I've managed to find a ebuild hack that will allow it to build without any problems until the patch from comment #2 is sent and accepted by the jpeg folk.  Please add this one-liner to jpeg-6b-r4.ebuild

Any update on this? It's been a while with jpeg broken...
