Bug 314843 – "No rule to make target `/lib64/libz.so'" in all the ebuilds compiled with cmake

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Damian Nadales 2010-04-12 17:18:40 UTC]

All the ebuilds compiled with cmake abort with this error.

I have sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4 installed.

The symbolic link for libz.so pointed to an non-existing libz.so.1.2.3:
    ls -l /lib64/libz.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-11-15 20:08 /lib64/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3

As a workaround I had to make a symbolic link so that /lib64/libz.so points to  libz.so.1.2.4. After this the problem went away.

Please remove the symlink and run revdep-rebuild from app-portage/gentoolkit package. sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4 doesn't provide this symlink anymore.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Sorry to bother but I've run reconcilio, but the error persisted. Is it possible that it is due to a buggy ebuild?

I doubt the ebuild is buggy or else there would be more bug reports about it.
If you still have the problem it's of course valid to reopen this bug but I am quite sure this is no bug in the sys-libs/zlib-1.2.4 ebuild.
