Bug 252463 – dev-util/git-1.6.0.6 fails make check

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Hans de Graaff 2008-12-25 11:15:26 UTC]

I'm emerging git with the following use flags: 

[ebuild     U ] dev-util/git-1.6.0.6 [1.5.4.5] USE="bash-completion cgi curl gtk iconv mozsha1 perl subversion vim-syntax%* xinetd -cvs -doc -emacs (-ppcsha1) -threads -tk -webdav" 0 kB

I have subversion installed:
[ebuild   R   ] dev-util/subversion-1.5.4  USE="apache2 bash-completion dso nls perl python ruby vim-syntax webdav-neon -berkdb -debug -doc -emacs -extras -java -sasl -webdav-serf" 0 kB


And getting these test failures for the git svn support. There are actually more errors, but I think these are all due to the initial failures. Let me know if all of the output is useful.

Just had some time to dig around in this. It turns out that the perl binary gets a segmentation fault, or rather the shared object installed by subversion:

I currently have dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r5, dev-libs/apr-1.3.2 and subversion 1.5.4 installed.

I've tried several git versions to see if this problem was recently introduced on the git side of things, but all versions that I tried, including git-1.5.4.5, now fail in this particular way. I am currently using git-1.5.4.5 and I'm sure all tests passed when I initially installed it, so the reason most likely is in the combination of the other software components.

[Comment 3 Hans de Graaff 2008-12-27 13:55:38 UTC]

This is another manifestation of bug #223747. Recompiling subversion with -dso USE flag fixed things and all tests now pass.
