Description Raphaël Barrois 2009-05-26 09:30:48 UTC
According to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml (I couldn't find an howto for linux), I ran 
$ env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot portage
Which failed with :
checking whether /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python >= 2.4... /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: python-2.6.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And, indeed, /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python -V fails with the same message, whereas /path/to/prefix/tmp/usr/bin/python -V gives me 2.5.2 (and the system version is 2.5.4)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow guide at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml
2. Run env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot portage

Actual Results:  
checking whether /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python >= 2.4... /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: python-2.6.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
checking whether /path/to/prefix/usr/bin/python >= 2.4... yes
Comment 1 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-05-26 17:32:16 UTC
can you check the following:

% gcc-config -l
% binutils-config -l
% $EPREFIX/usr/bin/gcc --version
% $EPREFIX/usr/bin/ld --version
% ldd %EPREFIX/usr/bin/python

You are bootstrapping on a Gentoo Linux host?

Yes.
I have python 2.5.4 on it ;
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)
Comment 5 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-05-27 09:33:58 UTC
Right.  I already suspected that.  It seems your environment isn't really sane.  Your python is built without --rpath to your prefix libs.  Did you perhaps skip binutils, gcc, and their -config wrappers?

Well, python seems to be compiled from portage ;
I don't understand what you mean by "skip" ? I did follow the whole http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml instructions.

Do you need any other info ?
Comment 7 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-05-27 09:42:03 UTC
hmmm.

% $EPREFIX/bin/bash -c 'gcc --version'

also returns 4.1.2?

Yes : 
% $EPREFIX/bin/bash -c 'gcc --version'
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)
Comment 9 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-27 10:21:10 UTC
Try this instead:

% $EPREFIX/bin/bash -l
eprefix% gcc --version
Comment 10 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-27 10:25:21 UTC
Regarding python-2.6:
Once I had troubles using python-2.6 as the first python installed - I was left without the usr/bin/python symlink, just usr/bin/python2.6 was there. So I do bootstrap with '<python-2.6' - when there is python-2.5 installed, upgrading to 2.6 works then. Didn't dig deeper into that (yet).

Here, I get :
gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Gentoo 4.2.4-r1 p1.1)
Comment 12 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-05-27 10:27:29 UTC
that's probably eselect python not being called (or installed)

Hmmm, ok.  what does the following return?
% head -n1 $EPREFIX/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh

In the end of the python building, I had those lines too :

well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating:

% $EPREFIX/bin/bash -l
$ echo "int main() {}" | gcc -x c -o x -Wl,--verbose - | grep SEARCH_DIR
$ scanelf --rpath x

Well, I was able to have it compiling correctly with :
% export LD_RUN_PATH="$EPREFIX/usr/lib:$EPREFIX/lib:$LD_RUN_PATH".

I think this is just a workaround - if you need, I still have a copy where the problem hasn't been solved in order to make more tests.
Comment 19 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-05-28 08:26:45 UTC
Is LD_RUN_PATH set?  Then that's the culprit.  For Prefix you need variables like that to be unset.

It wasn't set, but setting  it to include $EPREFIX/usr/lib and $EPREFIX/lib allowed me to build python without linking problems.

voodoo stuff, sorry no clues here
