emerging samba for the first time today, the build failed very quickly with the following output: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking samba-3.0.10.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/samba-3.0.10/work * Applying samba-3.0.x-python-setup.patch ... [ ok ] Running autoconf ... autom4te-2.59: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 139 Package versions are: net-fs/samba-3.0.10 sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-2-r1 sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake-1.9.5 sys-devel/m4-1.4.2-r1 These are the latest packages, last emerge --rsync was between 9 & 10PM BST today. (In fact I ran the rsync to see if it would fix the problem, but it made no difference at all.) I also tried rebuilding m4, autoconf, automake, & autoconf-wrapper whether they needed upgrading or not, to see if it would make any difference, but it didn't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -av net-fs/samba Actual Results: download proceded okay, md5 checks on a number of files okay, a short warning message about changed defaults and /etc/samba/private being moved to /var/lib/samba/private, and then the details above: unpacks samba, applies one patch, runs autoconf & autoconf fails. Expected Results: Presumably configured and built. :-J Use flags for emerge (from the emerge -av output): -acl -cups -debug -doc +kerberos -ldap -libclamav -mysql -oav +pam -postgres +python +quotas +readline (-selinux) +winbind-xml +xml2 Note that it doesn't make any difference whether quotas & winbind are on or off. emerge info output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#2, Mar 27 2005, 23:25:51)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.22-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp6.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X accessibility acpi aim alsa apache2 arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib caps cdr cjk crypt curl dedicated directfb divx2linux dvd dvdr emacs emboss encode escreen esd fam fbcon flac flash foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gtkgtk2 icq imagemagick imlib jabber java jikes jpeg kerberos lcms leim libg++ libwww mad mbox mikmod ming mmap mmx mng mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg msn nas ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pdflib perl php physfs png python quicktime readline ruby scanner sdl session spell sse ssl svg tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb videos vorbis wmf wxwindows xgetdefault xine xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Ethan, what's the latest on this?
I got nowhere on this & ended up forgetting about it after that machine died. I've just installed it on another machine with different use flags & it's installed fine, bu this new install is on a mature system not a fresh one. USE flags on the new install: -acl +cups -debug -doc +kerberos -ldap -libclamav +mysql -oav +pam -postgres +python -quotas +readline (-selinux) -winbind-xml +xml2 14,821 kB Further investigation of the problem on my part is very much on a 'when I get round to it' basis I'm afraid, apart from having to deal with failing hardware on my main compile boxes I have other projects looking for attention, but I'll try to help as I can.
Ethan, I'll chalk this up to flaky hardware then, since it only ever happened to you and only on that box. Please do reopen if the problem shows up and you can reproduce it.
