• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jack_mort 2005-10-11 12:29:00 UTC]

When trying to update my system today, pango was pulled in but it failed with
the following error :

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc  -march=athlon64 -O2

!!! Function gnome2_src_compile, Line 48, Exitcode 2
!!! compile failure
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

I don't know what it tries to mess up with expat in /var/tmp/portage, but it
makes it fail...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update pango to 1.10.1
2.
3.

Looks like expat was incorrectly installed, and a .la file is referencing it's
build directory rather than it's install directory.  Try this:

find /usr -name "*.la" -exec grep -H portage {} \;

This should print all .la files referencing /var/tmp/portage.  (I found cracklib
when I ran that command)  Re-emerge the broken package.

Arf, indeed it found cairo to point to /var/tmp/portage/expat-1.95.8...

Thanks for the tip and sorry for the buzz !
