Bug 1316 – Pam-0.75-r4 couldn't find a file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Bram Voorzaat 2002-03-23 06:34:39 UTC]

During the installation process [ emerge system ] pam-0.75-r4 didn't compile, 
because it can't find /var/lib/portage/pam-0.75-
r4/image/lib/security/pam_userdb*.so

It worked for me and a few other people.  Could you try doing an emerge rsync 
and try building it again?

What version of gcc ?

[Comment 3 Bram Voorzaat 2002-03-24 03:46:34 UTC]

I have just done everything according to the 'Build from scratch'-instructions 
at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html , so I don't have a special version of 
GCC. In make.conf, I selected all USE-options, including the optional lines. 
Because I have an AMD Athlon processor, I selected the i686 architecture. 

When I go to the /var/tmp/portage/pam-0.75-r4/work/Linux-PAM-
0.75/modules/pam_userdb directory and run make, it says it is 'skipping this 
module on this platform'. Disabling the berkdb USE-flag in make.conf does not 
solve this problem.

Oops, it actually says "This module will not be compiled on this system"

Ok, by running 'emerge db' prior to 'emerge system', I solved this problem. 
However, I don't know why 'db' doesn't get installed automatically, because it 
is defined as a dependency in pam-0.75-r4.ebuild
