 |
|
I've just run a much belated emerge uD world and I'm not able to install help2man. Getting the following:
| Code: | checking for library containing dlsym... -ldl
checking for module Locale::gettext... no
configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/help2man-1.33.1/work/help2man-1.33.1/config.log
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
|
When I do emerge help2man i dont get any dependancies and perl is the latest version.
Thanks for any help

Not fixed  For me at least. I am still getting the same error after re-installing gettext. I tried emerging locale-gettext but it says there is no ebuild for it. Using grep over an ls of all the files in portage for "locale-gettet" came up with no matches.
My exact error is similar as above:
| Code: |

If I try to emerge local-gettext:
| Code: |
# emerge local-gettext
Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "local-gettext".
|
Any thoughts?

Try Locale-gettext instead of local-gettext?
That solved the problem for me...

It helps to have the appropriate commands in your toolkit Next time around, try "esearch gettext" or "emerge -s gettext", that'll turn up all applications in Portage with names containing gettext.

If you're still getting the error, are you doing an emerge system? If you emerge Locale-gettext, it will probably complain at the beginning of the build that you don't have a proper perl install, and that it isn't going to work properly, but the build doesn't die. To solve this, try:
| Code: | | emerge --nodeps libperl perl |
Then you can try emerging Locale-gettext. If that works, go ahead with what you're doing. |

Right, I had the same problem, and your solution helped. Still, why doesn't the ebuild die? Or maybe more important, why isn't perl emerged before Locale-gettext?

Wel, the fix didn't work for me. I had the same problem:
| Code: | checking for module Locale::gettext... no
configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/help2man-1.33.1/work/help2man-1.33.1/config.log
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 495, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
|
So i did:
| Code: | emerge unmerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext
emerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext
emerge help2man
<error>
emerge unmerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext
emerge =Locale-gettext-1.03
emerge =help2man-1.29
emerge -u help2man
<error>
emerge perl && perl-cleaner allmodules
emerge -u help2man
<error>
emerge --nodeps libperl perl
perl-cleaner all
emerge unmerge Locale-gettext
emerge Locale-gettext
emerge -u help2man
<error>
|
Insert the error message for all <error>s
So now i really have no idea what else to do.
I use
dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.05
and want to upgrade from
sys-apps/help2man-1.29
to
sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1
ideas, comments? |

I'm getting a similar error, even though I've emerged locale-gettext, perl, and libperl.

[\code]
Only difference I can see is that my error occurs on line 495 rather than 485. I don't know why it's complaining about this either...
[code]
!!! Invalid PORTDIR_OVERLAY (not a dir): /usr/local/portage
[\code]
Should I just create that directory to shut it up? Help would be appreciated (and can we get the "[fixed]" out of the title since some of us are still having problems with this?). |

Today I updated to the new Perl (5.8.8, wasn't available a few days ago) version, did
| Code: | perl-cleaner all
emerge unmerge Locale-gettext
emerge -u help2man |
and it worked.
Seems like perl 5.8.8 does the trick. |

I had the same problem as dkostic when trying to update gcc to the latest. Updating to perl 5.8.8 and re-emerging Locale-gettext did the trick for me.
