Bug 65694 – emerge rhythmbox compiles but fails to install any files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jbooth 2004-09-28 08:53:45 UTC]

Trying to emerge rhythmbox to fix some crashy problems it was having (also re-emerged gstreamer fine before it), it compiles fine on both 0.8.3 and .5 but doesn't do anything at "make install", leaving .../image/ empty (with keepwork keeptemp features).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run with ~x86
2. emerge rhythmbox

emerge rhythmbox log

This is the log from emerging rhythmbox.

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2004-09-29 10:07:27 UTC]

not using reiser4 or something ?

[Comment 3 jbooth 2004-09-29 12:05:19 UTC]

Using good old ext3 for all my filesystems.

[Comment 4 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-09-29 17:04:48 UTC]

more like /usr/portage/eclass/gnome2.eclass is missing? can you confirm? because from your log you can't find gnome2_omf_fix

[Comment 5 jbooth 2004-09-29 22:02:12 UTC]

svirpridon /home/jbooth > ls -las /usr/portage/eclass/gnome2.eclass
8 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4634 Sep 14 07:13 /usr/portage/eclass/gnome2.eclass

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-09-30 01:45:56 UTC]

there definitely is something wrong with your portage not sourcing the gnome2.eclass properly. can you try resyncing your portage tree and/or try another version of portage. 

[Comment 7 jbooth 2004-09-30 07:45:39 UTC]

Portage tree resynced, new portage wanted to emerge, portage tree re-synced, rhythmbox attempted to emerge same gnome2_omf_fix not there. Looked at gnome2.eclass (did a big grep on another box), it's a regular shell script there. My broken box has gnome2.eclass containing exactly the same number of characters but every one is a null in vile. (^@ aka 0x0)

I deleted gnome2.eclass, sync'd, emerged portage, it restored gnome2.eclass, rebuild of rhythmbox now works.
