I am compiling a new gentoo, chrooting my futur disk from an old one. Thats why I am logged first as user under X, then run Eterm/xterm, su, chroot, then emerge. In this case, due to su and chroot, some ENV vars seem to "pass through". My problem is that it prevents compiling this ebuild, and only this one (at least at the moment: I emerge more than 350 ebuilds already: "emerge -e world", the base, and more than 150 additionnal ebuilds). *** variables that came through chroot (my X user is "dhp"): root@moon_gen:/# export |grep dhp declare -x CHOICESPATH="/home/dhp/.Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices" declare -x ETERM_USER_ROOT="/home/dhp/.Eterm/themes/Eterm" declare -x E_IPC_SOCKET="/tmp/enlightenment-dhp/disp-:0.0-7358" declare -x LYNX_CFG="/home/dhp/.lynx.cfg" root@moon_gen:/# *** compile error: docbook2man local-fontconfig-devel.sgml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/docbook-utils.dsl#print Working on: /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.2/work/fontconfig-2.4.2/doc/local-fontconfig-devel.sgml Done. mv manpage.refs func.refs rm -f manpage.links ln -s fontconfig-user.sgml local-fontconfig-user.sgml rm -f fonts-conf.5 docbook2man local-fontconfig-user.sgml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/docbook-utils.dsl#print Working on: /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.2/work/fontconfig-2.4.2/doc/local-fontconfig-user.sgml Done. rm -f manpage.refs manpage.links rm -f fontconfig-user.txt docbook2txt local-fontconfig-user.sgml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/docbook-utils.dsl#html Working on: /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.2/work/fontconfig-2.4.2/doc/local-fontconfig-user.sgml Configuration file "/home/dhp/.lynx.cfg" is not available. make[2]: *** [fontconfig-user.txt] Error 9 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.2/work/fontconfig-2.4.2/doc' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.2/work/fontconfig-2.4.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/media-libs:fontconfig-2.4.2:20070207-175535.log'. *** *** *** Since I need to go forward, I will look for a workaround *NOW*; but still, I logged in as root using su, then moved to "an other root user" using chroot; furthermore, after chroot, /home/dhp/.lynx.cfg is very likely not to exist (unless I had already copied my user dir; any way, maybe the user on the new system will not be called "dhp") I dont know why fontconfig needs lynx, and I dont mind; but emerging as root should depend on user conf. I dont mind at which level you are to fix this, but I think it should be fixed at "emerge" level; by doing something like "export -n LYNX_CFG".

docbook uses lynx for docbook to txt conversation. Take a look at /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/backends/txt if interested... Adding workaround for this issue into ebuild is not a good idea as there are many other env variables which make ebuild fail. May be portage will find some general solution for this... Marking this bug as duplicate. BTW, for chroot personally I found solution to enter it with the following command: env -i chroot ${path} /bin/bash --login this will recreate environment on entering chroot... HTH. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56407 ***
