The error is coming from a .la file you have installed, not from gettext itself, so it's not possible for anyone else than you to reproduce this (approx.) Try this first, # emerge lafilefixer # lafilefixer --justfixit # emerge -1 gettext
Detailed steps to reproduce: 1.: start a stage3 install 2.: emerge -evp @system
lafilefixer didn't help. I recompiled binutils glibc gcc and after that issued "env-update && source /etc/profile" but gettext still doesn't compile.
Are you using SystemRescueCD? It's known to be a bad installation media for Gentoo, causing bugs like bug 271942
Yes, the cause was the sysresccd environment settings. Now everithings compiles fine. Many thanks to help to solve the problem. Tibor
