• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Matthew Smith 2006-02-22 17:37:16 UTC]

geoip-python, both 0.2.0 and 1.2.1, spits out the following error (with or without -fPIC in CFLAGS):

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -shared -O2 -march=k8 -pipe -msse3 build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/py_GeoIP.o -L/usr/local/lib -lGeoIP -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/GeoIP.so

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 123546 ***

[Comment 2 Matthew Smith 2006-02-23 14:36:30 UTC]

Reopening this, the problem is with a different package than bug 123546. Error is still present, synced about 15 minutes ago.

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-02-23 14:39:17 UTC]

What's different? It's exactly the same problem. Emerge >=dev-libs/geoip-1.3.13, then emerge geoip-python. Reopen if that doesn't work.

[Comment 4 Matthew Smith 2006-02-23 15:23:48 UTC]

sorry, didn't realize that the problem was actually in dev-libs/geoip.
