Bug 570304 – dev-ruby/facter-3.1.3 fails to build with SYMLINK_LIB=no

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2015-12-30 19:43:11 UTC]

dev-ruby/facter-3.1.3 fails to build with SYMLINK_LIB=no profile with an error that libblkid.so.1 is in the wrong format. Turns out that cmake finds and links against /usr/lib/libblkid.so.1 while it should have used /lib64/libblkid.so.1 instead.

I am not sure what the right way to fix this is. The problem should probably be fixed here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/cmake/FindBLKID.cmake

but I opted for this hack instead (not sure where this would be installed on other architectures; on my machine I have /lib64/libblkid.so.1 and /usr/lib/libblkid.so.1).

can you run this so we can find out what package installed the files?  I only have the one in /lib64.

qfile /usr/lib/libblkid.so.1
qfile /lib64/libblkid.so.1

They are both installed by sys-apps/util-linux, but my profile builds 32-bit binaries, too with abi_x86_32 and abi_x86_64 use flags. I also have SYMLINK_LIB=no, so 32-bit binaries go in /usr/lib and /lib, though apparently not very consistently.

maybe this is more of a problem of being inconsistent?

Had to apply the following to 3.1.4 as it is still failing to build the same way:

fixed in 3.1.4-r1
