perl Tk-TableMatrix-1.01 emerge failed

[ardnut]

I'm trying to emerge mythtv 0.14 and one of its dependances is Perl Tk-TableMatrix-1.01

I can't emerge it as it always fails at the same point with the following error, any idea how to fix this?

Looks like your not alone..theres a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39950
Someone has included a Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild that should fix the problem.

I'm also suffering this problem.

I'm not at all sure I should be posting here, or in the Portage forums, but I'm somewhat uncertain as to how to fix this problem. The latest version in portage is 1.01 but CPAN has a 1.1 image. This apparently fixes the problem. I've downloaded the tarball but don't know what to do next

Surely, if I just unpack and install (how?) the later version, when I emerge mythtv (which is what I'm trying to do...) then the Tk-TableMatrix dependancies for myth won't be satisifed ... ?

Cheers

hello,

I got a solution waiting for a portage update :

cd /usr/portage/dev-perl/Tk-TableMatrix/

cp Tk-TableMatrix-1.01.ebuild Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild

emerge -f Tk-TableMatrix
ebuild Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild digest
emerge Tk-TableMatrix


note : i tried tu update gdesklets ebuild by gentoo bugzilla, i may made a mistake, it is not in portage tree

so could somebody try to update Tk-TableMatrix ?

by !

I can confirm that by following the info w/ bug #39950
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39950

It compiles fine.
To sum it up:
# cd dev-perl/Tk-TableMatrix

Copy the existing Ebuild
# cp Tk-TableMatrix-1.01.ebuild Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild

Edit the new file
# vi Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild

Commenting out the line I list below:
epatch ${FILESDIR}/patch.diff

Then, run
#emerge Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild digest
#emerge Tk-TableMatrix-1.1.ebuild

Hope that clears is up. The bug report was a little unclear, because not all users have to do this. Some can get away with just re-emerging perl-tk first.

There's now a 1.1 version of the ebuild in unstable. Copy it your OVERLAY directory, change the USE in the ebuild to remove the ~ and remake the digest w/ 'ebuild file-location digest'
