I moved to systemd today in my Gentoo unstable amd64. But network mananger doesn't build after that.  How to solve this and build networkmanager? This is the compile error report.

Previously I did move from openRC to systemd and back again to openRC without any build issues. Now moving to systemd this time makes it fail to compile networkmanager.

I am also hit by this bug as I'm looking to get back into Gentoo on a fresh install today. I changed to the desktop/kde/systemd profile, added several use flags, and network manager is the only thing left on an 'emerge -vaDuN system'.

Would it be helpful to attach the outputs of my environment, build.log, emerge --info ..., or emerge -pqv ... ? I have the same error as piruthiviraj (down to the same line numbers in the header files)

I also have this problem. Can't remove anything either since I can't complete a depclean until it installs. With everything I've tried, and failed, I'm stuck without a UI. Is there any way to work around such a predicament?

[Comment 6 Marek Sapota 2013-12-22 08:43:30 UTC]

Downgrading `libnl` to `3.2.23` fixed the problem for me.

[Comment 7 randy 2013-12-22 10:34:53 UTC]

I can confirm that downgrading libnl allows networkmanager to build. Thanks, Marek.

Downgrading does work.
