Bug 8591 – Can't build pango

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Arnaud Burlet 2002-09-30 18:08:29 UTC]

Pango had to be build because I made a emerge gnome but if fails

When building pango I got the folowing error :

Does this problem still persist ? (also with pango-1.0.5) ?

[Comment 3 Arnaud Burlet 2002-10-26 19:04:23 UTC]

Wow, we've got a very interesting case here !

After what you asked, I reinstalled my gentoo after a disk format... And again,
I couldn't compile pango ... (yes pango 1.0.5).

In my bug report I told you that my /var/tmp was a nfs volume mounted from my
fileserver (I can't build X with /var/tmp on my disk, it takes too much space...
so I use a nfs volume ...). I tried to unmount /var/tmp, so that pango compiles
on my hard drive, and ... it worked !!!

the sequence :

emerge -u xfree gnome --> pango build fails...
ldconfig
emerge -u pango ---> pango build fails
umount /var/tmp
emerge -u pango ---> pango build ok !

I don't understand why this is like that... on my fileserver the directory for
/var/tmp has the folowing nfs options : rw,no_root_squash

that's all for pango. Maybe you should try to install pango from a nfs volume...

the following is not important but who knows ...

I remember that at my previous attempt to install gentoo and gnome, a compile
failed (I don't remember which one), it was strange ... I looked at the script,
and modified a path in a Makefile by adding a trailing "/" that is, something
like -I/bla/blob/foo to -I/bla/blob/foo/ and then it compiled, that was the
first time I suspected nfs...

Weird indeed.. it must be NFS in some way. If you use MAKEOPTS"-j1" , does the
problem go away ?

No further traffic. closing

I get the same error trying to emerge pango-1.2.0. I'm using Gentoo 1.2 on a
diskless root-over-NFS system so the problem is surely related to NFS in some way. 

I've tried "export MAKEOPTS="j1"" and I get the same result. The only solution I
can see is to avoid using NFS, which in my case means copying the root partition
from the NFS server to a hard drive, insert it in the system, boot from it,
emerge pango and then copy the partition back to the NFS server.
