Bug 216816 – sys-devel/gettext-0.17 fails to build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Werner M. Mayer 2008-04-08 04:18:11 UTC]

sys-devel/gettext-0.17 fails compile after emerge --sync and emerge -vaunN system on x86



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -vaunN system


Actual Results:  
sys-devel/gettext-0.17 fails compile with error in configure phase.



Expected Results:  
Expecting successful compile.

Instead:
emerge -vaunN   fails after compilation of a few programs and system update
ist not further possible.


I know my system isn't up to date but trying to update it lead to this problem
in the first place.

This error also comes up when trying to emerge other packages like gcc.

This system is a stage 3 installation, knowing you don't support lower stages.

Bug #133225 could still be effective or related to this bug.

Please give me a few days to respond.

Please allow a few days for reporting, as the data has to be copied from one 
system to another because the faulty system has no usable X system and reporting
and enclosing attachments via links doesn't seem to work well, I kept getting
error messages when posting from the affectedin the past.

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for trying things out, please forward any comments to me.


Bye, Werner.

this log is a mess.  please do:
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage
emerge gettext >& log
and then post the log file as an attachment (and not as a zip)
