what version of sys-apps/texinfo do you have installed ?
here is the information required: sys-apps/texinfo-4.8 -build -debug +nls -static thanks Spanky
hrm, do any earlier versions of sed work ? does this work ? tar -zxf /usr/portage/distfiles/sed-4.1.4.tar.gz sed sed-4.1.4/doc makeinfo sed.texi
what a quick response! #sed sed-4.1.4/doc sed: -e expression #1, char 13: unterminated `s' command
err, i'm stupid ... i didnt mean 'sed sed-4.1.4/doc' i meant 'cd sed-4.1.4/doc'
It works!
could you do `emerge sed >& log` and post the log as an attachment please ?
Created attachment 52606 [details] emerge sed >& log it's in dos format note that line 231 & 232, there contains some traditional chinese messages 231:which means "unmatched }" 232:because of failure, removing output file..... sorry for that, I have set LANG=en_US, but that output doesn't change I am stupid, hope that doesn't affect your debugging, thanks
hmm, if you set your locale/lang to C, does sed emerge fine ?
It works! but I cannot get it done with LANG="C" done with the following: #LC_ALL="POSIX" emerge -u sed if you have time, could you give simply explanation? if not, just let it be. Thank you very much!^_^
it's also ok with #LC_ALL="C" emerge -u sed
Created attachment 53285 [details, diff] sed-lang.patch does this help at all ? just unpack the sed source, apply this patch, and then build it normally ... leave your LC_ALL setting as you normally would
yes, it works perfectly!
added patch to cvs then, thanks
