Maybe there is a solution in a german thread i just reading. Its about some mismatch upgrading from gentoo 1.2 to 1.4

i am receiving the same error when i try to compile xfree-4.3.0-r2. my compile also fails at the exact same point when it sees mouse/*_drv.o no such file or directory. if you find a solution please post it. i'm not running gentoo 1.2. i actually installed gentoo 1.4 RC4 when it was released, and this is the first major problem i've run into.

thanks!

Maybe there is no need for babelfish:

I have this problem too and i resolv it, during emerge xfree i go to /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/ and do a make all at all subdirs.. then it compile. I haven't got time to fix the code.. but this works fine for me :wink:

just as an update, i got it to correctly emerge. however i had to follow the previous posts' suggestions to manually build the subdirectories in /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/ . the emerge doesn't seem to correctly build the subdirectories in input. this is with the most current syncs. the patch-version is 1.1.3.

the make World doesn't appear to correctly build the input subdirs on my computer, however they worked fine on my friend's computer who has a similar configuration.

But how do you get the makes to stick ? I run the makes and as soon as I rerun the emerge xfree it over write the work I just did and therefore fails again . How did you get the compile to run? This is just frustrating as all hell.Normally I dont ask but in this case I thought I would before I pitch this computer across the room.

Any help would be great...

I'm having the same issue, it's threatening my sanity

I can't get any version of xfree to emerge.

it the ebuild that has a problem? or is there something wonky in the current version of gcc or some sIsuch thing?

I went into the ebuilt with kedit and found the patch version is 1.1.3. as well this is with about 4 emerge rsyncs 3 syncs and the 1.1 patch is not in it.I even tried to edit the ebuild but then it downloaded the tarball of the 1.1 but then it failed to build cause there was no digest for the 1.1 patch.

I've the same problem, but I don't understand a lot of your solutions (french speaker inside ^^).
So I wonder if someone of you could explain the solution he finds the best ?

thanks

For me, it was a bad stick of ram, i took it out, recompiled GCC, emerge rsync, and everything is OK again.

Si vous postez les detaille de votre system, ca sera plus facile pour quelqu'un de t'aidez. J'en suis po sure, mais je crois que i'll ya a segmentation fault durant la compilation d'un des program de support ( Xse ou quelque chose d'autre ), pi le emerge continue j'ust qu'a temps qu'il faut le installez...

pour moi c'etait le mauvais RAM...

svp excusez mon francais

no problem for your french. i think my english is worse :lol:

i'll do as you say, even if I'm quite sure of my ram. I tested it about 2h with memtest96 without getting any error.
As we say in french, "seul Dieu le sait" (only god know it :p)

I'll try soon, and let you know de results

For me its not a hard ware problem its not finding the files properly.I even manually did a make while the emerge was going and the emerge failed at a different point this time . On a xfree86mouselibextprotocal or something . Dont remember since I was in a hurry after the attempt that I forgot to save the error to a file.I only have this file to emerge and Im up to date on my system ,oh well I guess Ill wait till r3. Unless someone knows a fix for this problem.

I had the same problem, bombed in the same place three times in a row for me during emerge -e world. Then I removed everything but "pentium4 -o3 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer" from my CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in make.conf and the emerge world went fine. Try un-tweaking your optimizations a bit and see if it works.

BTW, I found that the -falign-double optimization will break your findutils package (and who knows what else), if you're doing an emerge -e world. The find command at least stops working (it'll just say 'xxxx changed during execution of find'...), not sure if this is the direct cause of the xfree package bombing in my case...

i've tried with the default flags ONLY (in make.conf, for my amd t-bird); and without a ram module i wasn't sure of...

and the problem persist :/

I've updated the xfree-4.3.0-r2 ebuild, and it will now build successfully with USE="debug". apologies for any inconvenience caused.
