Bug 90149 – dev-tcltk/otcl-1.9 fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description M. Edward Borasky 2005-04-23 11:54:22 UTC]

"emerge nam" depends on dev-tcltk/otcl. I have both in /etc/portage/package.keywords to bring in the ~x86 versions. So as of this writing, it is attempting to emerge dev-tcltk/otcl-1.9. I haven't tried to build this directly from the source tarball, but here's what happens during the emerge:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This (setting all the dependencies in /etc/portage/package.keywords and emerging nam) used to work; it's been a few months since I did it, so I don't remember what versions the packages were at the time.

Perhaps It is parallel make problem. Fixed in cvs.

[Comment 2 M. Edward Borasky 2005-04-23 16:27:41 UTC]

Yes ... "MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge otcl" worked!! Thanks!!
