esound fails to build. [solved].. I think

Originally asked in a previous thread, but at the time was looking for an answer to a different question, which was successfully answered, and the problems associated with it solved.

This one still remains.. When emerging esound, the following error comes up:

Tried all 3 versions currently in portage with the same results..
Tried an emerge -e esound, everything prior built fine until it got to esound.

Hmmm...

Hi!

Could you post emerge --info?

TheNewb · Apprentice Joined: 10 Jun 2005 Posts: 183

Sure!

It seems to be amd64 related (the libstdc++.so.6 is provided by GCC, and supposed to work

)

You could try to emerge libstdc++. It will provide you other (older) libraries, but I'm really not sure that will help...

Maybe someone more comfortable with amd64 will help you more

I've re-emerged it many times in hopes it would fix...

I've done emerge -e esound, didn't work...
emerge -e world, no help...

Tried emerge --prune world && emerge --update world
along with revdep-rebuild ..

The idea on that one was maybe an old package causing mischief. But that wasn't it either.

exact same problem. I had to unmerge the existing esound as it was blocking another package. Now evolution won't start because it depends on esound.
Any ideas to get esound to work?

try reinstall openjade

Rebuilding openjade didn't work... =(

Which is why to be a little desperate I did an emerge -e esound. Which of course included openjade.... *Scratches head a little bit*

post it as a bug at bugs.gentoo.org

Remerging openjade solved it here

Hello -

I am having a similar problem:

I get the same error as above:

Well, I don't find a solution for now. I also think a bug should be posted at bugs.gentoo.org

Same problem here, any solutions?

cgmoller · Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2006 6:06 am Post subject: Solved - solutions

Hello -

A bug was filed
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128952
There appears to be 2 potential solutions.
The one that worked for me was as follows:

equery list sgml
emerge --oneshot =<all the packages listed!>

In my case it was
emerge --oneshot -v =app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r5

emerge -v esound

Fixed -

To the owner of the thread :

Don't forget to add [Solved] to your thread once repaired

(We have 2 solutions here, hopefully one of them will work with you).

I am also getting esound build problems on an AMD AthlonXP machine, so it's not just a 64 bit problem.

My error sequence:

Not surprised that the link (hack) works. But, it would not be surprising if other things start to break based upon unresolvable serial dependencies.
Treat the problem not the symptom.

Well, I'm not to sure how best to solve the problem, nor am I sure that it is a big problem this time.

Some of the other posts indicated that it was a problem to find out where to get that missing library. I tried doing the equery check, but didn't get a useful response. Anyone have an idea about where to find the missing library?

How much of a problem is it anyways to have a link to a newer version of a library, which is hopefully backwards compatible, instead of having the actual old version?

Lastly, how critical is this library? If I was reading the part where things failed correctly, it appears that the library was just being used to build documentation in :PUKE: docbook format. It seems like a bit of a bug for the build to fail over a doc building error, especially since the part just before the failure said the docs weren't critical to the program.

I agree that this solution is a bit of a hack, and I do tend to be wary of it as a general technique, but it seems to work OK in this case.

Did you try either of the solutions mentioned in the bug? If so did you get the same result?

libosp seems to come from OpenSP

Well, this is what I got when I tried...

Hey TheNewb - regarding your original post

Did you recently upgrade your gcc version? There seems to be some pitfalls to be avoided, one of which involves the same library: libstdc++
See the "upgrading GCC" page for details.
