Bug 60952 – sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2 compilation fails on segmentation fault

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wayt Gibbs 2004-08-19 15:21:39 UTC]

"emerge system" wants to perform a new installation of sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2.
The ebuild initially halted with a java configuration error.
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/db-4*
rm -rf /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/db-4*
corrected that problem and allowed the ebuild to progress to compilation.
Compilation halts following

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -c -I. -I../dist/..  -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/include -I/opt/b
lackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/include/linux -mcpu=athlon-tbird -march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fprefetch
-loop-arrays -w ../dist/../rpc_server/c/db_server_proc.c

See attachment for full ouput of emerge sys-libs/db command.

Created attachment 37768 [details]
Output from `emerge sys-libs/db &> log`

Segfault occurs at line 840

[Comment 2 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-08-20 02:14:34 UTC]

It seems that newer releases of the blackdown jdk are broken. You could try to use an older jdk, or use Sun's jdk. Alternatively you could workaround the issue by disabling the java bindings alltogether: 'echo "dev-util/subversion -java" >>/etc/portage/package.use'

[Comment 3 Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) 2004-10-14 02:15:13 UTC]

what jdk was used?
which do you claim to be 'broken'? and why?

[Comment 4 Wayt Gibbs 2004-10-14 07:08:23 UTC]

This error occurred with blackdown-jdk 1.4.1

[Comment 5 Wayt Gibbs 2004-10-14 07:11:53 UTC]

The error also occurred when I unemerged blackdown-jdk_1.4.1 and emerged blackdown-jdk_1.4.2_rc1.

[Comment 6 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-04-14 12:20:39 UTC]

any news about this one? works for me with the latest blackdown-jdk atleast on amd64:

blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01

USE="java" and no segmentation fault.

[Comment 7 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) 2005-05-04 13:53:31 UTC]

removing java@g.o from cc list, problem doesnt occur with the latest blackdown for me. can't reproduce. Paul , this one is yours. 

[Comment 8 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2005-05-08 07:00:18 UTC]

I'll close this now. It should just work.
