Bug 403055 – catalyst fails with sys-libs/zlib-1.2.5-r2 error: unable to read SONAME from libz.so

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description b1254633 2012-02-10 23:56:04 UTC]

I would test gentoo on chost: i586-pc-linux-uclibc, but catalyst fails with this error: 
 *   ERROR: sys-libs/zlib-1.2.5-r2 failed (install phase):
 *   unable to read SONAME from libz.so

I'm using this stage1.spec:
subarch: i586
target: stage1
version_stamp: latest
rel_type: default
profile: uclibc/x86
snapshot: latest
source_subpath: default/stage3-i586-latest
chost: i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc
cflags: -O2 -march=i586 -pipe

Reproducible: Always

Please do not reassign the severity of the bug yourself

This doesn't seem to be a catalyst bug.

[Comment 4 b1254633 2012-02-12 15:36:19 UTC]

with chost: i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc it compile. Is it a zlib bug or uclibc bug or other?

your system doesn't have i585-gentoo-linux-xxx wrappers.  that is the source of the problem.

Using ar
Checking for i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc...

How can I install i585-gentoo-linux-xxx wrappers? 
What is the difference between i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc and i586-pc-linux-uclibc?

changing CHOST requires manual intervention

[Comment 8 b1254633 2012-02-13 09:55:29 UTC]

well, how do I fix it?

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2012-02-13 16:10:57 UTC]

 - unpack your seed stage
 - google for "gentoo change chost"
 - follow the documentation
 - create a new seed stage
 - run catalyst with new seed stage with chost matching your spec file

or just use the chost that your seed already has rather
