Bug 77511 – x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11: libs/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris 2005-01-11 05:33:37 UTC]

While emerging kde with gtk1 support, compiling gives this error

[Comment 1 foser (RETIRED) 2005-01-11 06:28:53 UTC]

please follow the bugreport steps closely & provide the full error log & 'emerge info' .

What x11 version are you using ? Maybe a symbol that got removed over time (ABI break).

[Comment 2 Chris 2005-01-11 07:07:48 UTC]

The full compiler statement:

gcc -O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -o .libs/testinput testinput.o -rdynamic  ./.libs/libgtk.so -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib ../gdk/.libs/libgdk.so -lXi -lXext -lX11 /usr/lib/libgmodule.so /usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lm
./.libs/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 which was installed after emerging KDE
PS: While emerging x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11 emerge prints 'Patching ${S}/ltmain.sh Could not apply portage.patch!", could this make trouble?

I resolved the problem. The problem was because I emerged the kernel under Mandrake Linux 10 in a gentoo shell, it seems the package needs some kernel specific files
PS: Gentoo is extremly fast, its the very best I have ever seen!

Well, I have almost the same problem, and in a normal Gentoo system with GCC 4.1.1, so please reopen. I will post my emerge info upon request.

My problem turned up while doing emerge -e, and I have done fix_libtool_files.sh after going from gcc 3.4.6 to 4.1.1

[Comment 6 Kimmo Sundqvist 2006-09-30 23:32:54 UTC]

Had it work by doing export LC_ALL=en_US and emerge --resume
