Bug 59700 – can't emerge gnome-spell (./depcomp not found)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ludootje 2004-08-07 07:46:23 UTC]

When I try to emerge gnome-spell I get this:

----------
<root@gax ~> # emerge -pv gnome-spell
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] app-text/gnome-spell-1.0.5-r2 [1.0.5] -debug -debug  0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
----------

Notice here that there are two 'debug' flags... I suppose this isn't meant to be like this ;)

Over to my real problem now:

Sorry I forgot to mention this: when I try with WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4, it still uses automake 1.8.3:

gax ~ # export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4
gax ~ # env|grep WANT
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.4
gax ~ # /usr/bin/emerge gnome-spell

I seem to be unable to replicate this bug.  Try downloading the source again, and building it (rm /usr/portage/distfiles/gnome-spell-1.0.5.tar.bz2) again.

[Comment 3 Ludootje 2004-08-07 08:35:53 UTC]

Thanks for you suggestion, but I'm affraid that didn't help:

gax ~ # rm /usr/portage/distfiles/gnome-spell-1.0.5.tar.bz2
rm: remove regular file `/usr/portage/distfiles/gnome-spell-1.0.5.tar.bz2'? y
removed `/usr/portage/distfiles/gnome-spell-1.0.5.tar.bz2'
gax ~ # emerge gnome-spell

As it md5sums the archive before installation, I assume chances of this fixing were slim/non-existant anyway.
What Automake version do you use to emerge gnome-spell?

Thanks for your time,
Ludootje

[Comment 4 Saleem Abdulrasool (RETIRED) 2004-08-07 11:05:44 UTC]

I am using Automake-1.8.3

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-08 02:45:02 UTC]

@reporter : what automake are you using ?

[Comment 6 Ludootje 2004-08-08 09:31:48 UTC]

Apparently I have *a lot* of automake versions installed:

----------
gax ~ # automake<TAB,TAB>
automake      automake-1.4  automake-1.5  automake-1.6  automake-1.7  automake-1.8

gax ~ # automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.3

gax ~ # automake-1.4 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

gax ~ # automake-1.5 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.5

gax ~ # automake-1.6 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3

gax ~ # automake-1.7 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.9

gax ~ # automake-1.8 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.8.3
----------

(I've cut the author & copyright info from the output)
Maybe this could be caused by a problem with my autotools, as suggested in bug #55059. Based on the emerge output, I'd say it's possible both problems are caused by a problem with the autostuff I've got installed, but I'm not the expert - just mentioning this so you guys don't try to fix a package which maybe isn't broken.

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-08 10:01:02 UTC]

all those versions come from the same pack.

this is a dupe yep, same problems
