emerging of libsdl quits with error

andip

hi guys,

I'm having a problem with updating packages with "emerge -u world" because it quits with an error when trying to emerge media-libs/libsdl-1.2.4.20020601.

I tried removing the old libsdl-package too, but emerge -u world still tries to update it. i've also run emerge --clean rsync to get rid of old stuff.

The error goes as follows :

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge media-libs/libsdl-1.2.4.20020601 to /
>>> md5 ;-) libsdl-1.2.4.20020601.tar.bz2

Read and earlier post about trying to remove xine first, and i've tried that to no avail.

Happy for any help you can provide.

Cheers

Try running "emerge rsync --clean" and try it again.

tried again now, but still the same.

compiling and installing SDL-1.2.4 source works fine.

Try the older version -- "emerge libsdl-1.2.4-r2.ebuild".

No, that don't work.. quits with error :

emerge libsdl-1.2.4-r2.ebuild
Calculating dependencies \

!!! ebuild /libsdl-1.2.4-r2 not found (possibly blocked by package.mask)

Guess that's due to --clean or something, cause it's not listed in "package.mask"

I had the same problem but duplicate macro was defined gimp-print-cups so I unmerged that and it worked. Did you unmerge xine and dvdnav and then try libsdl?
