Bug 333321 – sys-apps/findutils-4.5.9 freezes during configure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Alex Marcat 2010-08-18 16:13:55 UTC]

Latest sys-apps/findutils (4.5.9) freezes while configuring.
Every time it stops at this line:
 checking whether strcasestr works in linear time... 
I left the pc emerging all night, but it is blocked there.
Looking at emerge.log, it should take only a minute for emerging.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -avuDN @world (or emerge -avuDN sys-apps/findutils)




I tryed to resync, delete the ebuild and download it again, but I had no result.
This is my emerge --info:

I forgot to say that the cpu runs very high for the first minute while is blocked, then it's return to normal activity

Also, attach the config.log.

emerge --info

[Comment 5 Alex Marcat 2010-08-18 18:38:17 UTC]

well, I've attached emerge --info.
Since configure does not fail, but it freezes, where is located the config.log?

[Comment 6 Alex Marcat 2010-08-18 18:40:12 UTC]

ol, found, I attach it

findutils finally compiled, and I didn't nothing; but now I get the same problem while compiling the latest wget update. I'll try

solutions 1, 2 and 4 don't work. I'll try gdb now

what do you mean "4 didnt work" ?  does the simple program execute properly when you run it manually ?  or does it hang too ?
