I get the same error.

[Comment 2 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2004-02-19 18:55:11 UTC]

I have tried version 2.2.8 by copying the ebuild over... Does this solve the problem?

[Comment 3 Andrea Cerrito 2004-02-21 09:42:03 UTC]

No.

[Comment 4 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2004-02-21 10:49:05 UTC]

try:
emerge sync
emerge gettext
emerge unixODBC

This is probably a known gettext bug from what I can tell.

[Comment 5 David Solomon 2004-02-21 13:38:52 UTC]

The issue isn't with the sed error (although that is most likely a gettext issue).  The issue is that the gODBCConfig configure process is looking for the libodbcinst.so files in /usr and /usr/local, yet they have not been installed.  They are still sitting in var/tmp/portage/unixODBC-2.2.8/work/unixODBC-2.2.8/odbcinst/.libs.

A quick workaround is to copy the odbcinst/.libs/* to /usr/libs and also copy the .libs dir to /usr/libs.  Reemerge and it will work fine.  After the emerge, you should be able to remove the libs you moved over.

[Comment 6 David Solomon 2004-02-21 13:41:35 UTC]

Sorry, that is that it is looking in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib.  Ooops.

[Comment 7 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2004-02-21 15:07:40 UTC]

David: do you have any ideas on how to fix this within the ebuild?

[Comment 8 David Solomon 2004-02-21 15:14:13 UTC]

I am sure there is a parameter that can be passed in the ./configure process.  I did see a --with-odbc= parameter that may work.

Let me take a look.  I kind of fixed it on mine and then just got rid of everything.  I will take another look.

[Comment 9 David Solomon 2004-02-21 15:25:27 UTC]

According to the ebuild, the gnome USE flag is causing that section from being needed.  

[Comment 10 David Solomon 2004-02-21 15:33:16 UTC]

To clarify, try with USE=-gnome emerge unixODBC

[Comment 11 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2004-02-21 15:48:53 UTC]

by placing -gnome, then gnome is completely disabled.  Is there anyway of fixing it with gnome enabled?

[Comment 12 David Solomon 2004-02-21 18:33:53 UTC]

Ok.  Let me see what I can find out.  I will look further into it in the morning.

[Comment 13 David Solomon 2004-02-22 06:00:06 UTC]

Ok.  Since it is looking for a directory with a lib subdir, I can't see an easy way of correcting this with just passing a parameter to the configure process.  It does install the libodbcinst files after installing. My suggestion is emerge with a USE=-gnome and let it install the files.  Then do a USE=gnome afterwards and reemerge to pickup the gnome frontend.

[Comment 14 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2005-02-06 18:10:38 UTC]

Please open a new bug if this problem persists.
