• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Charles Boyd 2012-07-27 20:39:25 UTC]

Created attachment 319448 [details]
requested information from portage failure

The make line is:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64


Then I get the error message:

 * Messages for package app-shells/bash-4.2_p29:

 * ERROR: app-shells/bash-4.2_p29 failed (compile phase):
 *   (no error message)
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  85:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 2367:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake || die;


I am following the instructions from the documentation, and get up to this point but cannot find a workaround.

Thanks!

By the way, I did make a tiny hack on the misc-function.sh script to stop ncurses build from failing.

charles[bin]$ grep -n "eqawarn \"(NOT) Aborting" misc-functions.sh 
1001: eqawarn "(NOT) Aborting due to QA concerns: invalid shebangs found"

I changed "die" to "eqawarn" so the build would keep going.

This is the error I was getting from that:

dude, that check + die is in there for a good reason.

You need to follow the instructions very closely.  If they don't work, report bugs on that.  Followup bugs on things not working earlier down the line are not interesting at all.
