 Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:33 am Post subject: Emerge apache fails on pcre-config script [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've recently reinstalled Gentoo on my homeserver and while in the business of installing and configuring everything again I came across an apache unwilling to compile:
| Code: | checking for APR-util... yes
adding "-L/usr/lib64" to LDFLAGS
checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking how to run the C preprocessor... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E
configure: error: Did not find pcre-config script at /compile/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.25/temp/pcre-config
|
But when I go to `/compile/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.25/temp/` the `pcre-config` file is there, containing:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
[ "${flag}" = "--version" ] && set -- --modversion
exec ${PKG_CONFIG} libpcre "$@"
|
So I'm not sure what it exactly is that the configure step is failing on... any help would be appreciated. (The full build.log is located here.)

Alright, I've done so: Bug #500928. So I guess this will be continued there...

Thanks to SpanKY I can say this problem has been resolved. It was the Trusted Path Execution settings in my hardened kernel, specifically the CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_TPE_ALL option. This option restricts all non-root users so that they cannot execute files in directories that are world or group writable (amongst other things), and it happens to be the case that the build part of emerge drops its root privileges and works in directories that are group writable (portage group). So when the build process requires a file to be executed from there it gets denied, as conform the settings. If I'd known that emerge drops down to the user portage when actually building I might've figured it out sooner, but at least now I know. 
Also I should've looked more carefully at my log files, because as SpanKY says in the bug report, the cause for the build-failure was plainly to be found in `dmesg`:
| Code: | | grsec: From x.x.x.x: denied untrusted exec (due to file in group-writable directory) of /compile/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.25/temp/pcre-config by /compile/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.25/temp/pcre-config[configure:5389] uid/euid:250/250 gid/egid:250/250, parent /compile/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.25/work/httpd-2.2.25/configure[configure:4220] uid/euid:250/250 gid/egid:250/25 |
