Description Peter `MathFox' Roozemaal 2004-05-05 01:09:04 UTC
emerge gnome fails on my machine:

grep: /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.2/image/usr/lib/libfontconfig.la: No such
file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.2/image/usr/lib/libfontconfig.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.2/image/usr/lib/libfontconfig.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[4]: *** [libgnomeprintui-2-2.la] Error 1
[...]
!!! ERROR: gnome-base/libgnomeprintui-2.4.2 failed.
!!! Function gnome2_src_compile, Line 39, Exitcode 2
!!! compile failure

NOTE:
I have fontconfig-2.2.1 installed on my machine; why the reference to fontconfig-2.2.2?
Comment 1 Joseph Booker 2004-05-05 10:36:41 UTC
try doing rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* and try again
Comment 2 Peter `MathFox' Roozemaal 2004-05-05 11:50:20 UTC
No, rm /var/tmp/portage/* doesn't work.
emerging an older version of the package that fails linking and upgrading that to the current version solves the problem though.
Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-05 14:36:38 UTC
you must've had fontconfig-2.2.2 at one point. I dunno what you did there.

Anyway, it's libtool archive files we're b0rked and there's not much we can do about that if it isn't reproducable.

closing not a bug.
