Bug 72445 – samba-3.0.8 / samba-3.0.7-r1 build fails on libxml2 test

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Steven Wilson 2004-11-25 04:54:00 UTC]

When I attempt to emerge samba-3.0.8 or rebuild samba-3.0.7-r1, the configure script fails to compile the libxml2 test program:

checking for libxml - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run libxml test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means LIBXML was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved LIBXML since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the xml2-config script: /usr/bin/xml2-config
configure: error: Can't find XML libraries while XML support is requested

!!! ERROR: net-fs/samba-3.0.8 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

The error from config.log is:

configure:32982: gcc -o conftest -march=athlon-xp -Os -momit-leaf-frame-pointer

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:32985: $? = 1

The same error occurs when rebuilding samba-3.0.7-r1, which previously built without problems. Rebuilding libxml2-2.6.15 and downgrading to libxml2-2.6.11 do not fix the problem (I didn't expect it to, but of libxml, autoconf, and automake, libxml seemed to be the only thing updated since I last built samba-3.0.7-r1).

I can confirm, also attaching my configuration so someone can find the least common denominator.

Attached system info as promised.

i get the same error with samba-3.0.10

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2005-04-24 15:37:34 UTC]

strange, now it works here

[Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-07-29 04:38:40 UTC]

was it possible, that you all just needed to re-emerge libxml2 or so?  

IS this bug still valid even?  Please re-open if so.
