Bug 605718 – sci-electronics/spice fails to emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description m.manico 2017-01-14 21:17:39 UTC]

Emerging sci-electronics fails with

>>> Install spice-3.5.5-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/sci-electronics/spice-3.5.5-r1/image/ category sci-electronics
!!! dobin: obj/bin/spice3 does not exist
!!! dobin: obj/bin/nutmeg does not exist
dobin failed
 * ERROR: sci-electronics/spice-3.5.5-r1::gentoo failed (install phase):
 *   failed to copy binaries
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line 115:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 2316:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       dobin obj/bin/{spice3,nutmeg,sconvert,multidec,proc2mod} || die "failed to copy binaries";

Scrolling up the emerge log reveals:

I am hit by the same bug.

Compilations fails with:

I just noticed that I was actually the person reporting this issue one month ago. Don't mind my second message. Sorry for the noise.

Fixed missing -ltinfo. See new -r2 version. Thanks for reporting.
