 Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2004 6:52 am Post subject: emerging gnucash-1.8.8 problem... |
 |
|
I edited the gnucash-1.8.8.ebuild file and added "amd64" to the KEYWORDS list, so I could get emerge to attempt the install. All of the dependencies for gnucash have installed properly, but the merging of gnucash itself never completes: it hangs while building the documentation search index database and never exits. Here's what I think is the relevent output:
| Code: | Making install in doc-tools
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnucash-1.8.8/work/gnucash-docs-1.8.3/doc-tools'
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnucash-1.8.8/work/gnucash-docs-1.8.3/doc-tools'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
if test -r help-search-index.db; then \
rm -f help-search-index.db; \
fi
./build-help-index \
./dbadd \
./help-search-index.db \
../help/C/gnucash-help/*.html \
../guide/C/gnucash-guide/*.html;
Error writing data.
|
To kill the emerge I have to hit ^C not once but twice, and that still doesn't kill the dbadd process. Fortunately I don't have to do a complete reboot to kill it; logging out and logging back in seems to kill the process.
I'm wondering if I should submit a bug report about this. Oh yeah, my system specs:
| Code: | 2xOpteron 242
2GB RAM
MSI K8T Master2-FAR motherboard (VIA Chipset)
250 GB Maxtor HD (with DMA finally enabled; I didn't have support for my IDE chipset in the kernel)

Here is a link for the lazy: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27978
The files given in comments #34 and #35 are what solved my problems. |

After much aggravation, got gnucash 1.8.8 to compile and run on amd64 - not sure if I used "best practices" or what exacttly cured the problems, so try these:
add --enable-deprecation=no to guile-1.6.4-r1.ebuild econf section and re-emerge
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge guile-gtk
add CFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib" and LDLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib" to gnucash-1.8.8.ebuild global section and re-emerge
make sure you do the workaround for the gnucash-docs bug
I'd like to do this "prpoer gentoo style" - let me know if what to change...[/list] |

Thanks, now I have GnuCash working in 64bit. Maybe you should submit a bug report...

Can somebody who has managed to get this working post the working gnucash 1.88 e-build file? I have not quite figured out where to put the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS options into the e-build file.
Thanks. |

The global section of the ebuild is anything outside of the curly braces "{...}". IIRC (I may not since I've synced since then and the ebuild got overwritten), I put the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS sections after the MAKEOPTS variable.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the workarround, got gnucash emerged but it crashes:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libgw-gnc", message: "/usr/lib/libgw-gnc.so.0: undefined symbol: gtk_marshal_NONE__NONE"
bash-2.05b$ |

This bug was related to not getting gnucash to run, it already compiled. Make sure you edit the guile and other ebuilds like rjrooke said, and I would think it will work (it did for me). If you're still having problems, look it up on bugzilla.

I've forgotten to merge guile-gtk, now it works |

|
|
| gnucash 1.8.9 works for amd64 with gnome 2.6 with the addition of the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS options - got the ebuild from bugzilla - I'm going to add a note there... Thought the LDFLAGS option was useless, but it does, in fact seem necessary - voodoo... |

Well, it compiles okay here but I get this error starting it up:
| Code: |
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libgw-gnc", message: "/usr/lib/libgw-gnc.a: invalid ELF header"
|
Is this related to the above? Does the patch in bugzilla fix this?

Update to gnucash-1.8.9 doesn't fix things

Sounds good, I'll try that, although the instructions above mention the global section of the ebuild; Where is that? I have added them in where I thought appropiate, let's see if it works...

Aah thank you; I had placed them into the src_compile section but that didn't work. I'm compiling again, fingers crossed...

Well, I got past the previous error -- now it starts (splashscreen) but bombs out with:

| If you are using xorg-x11 make sure that the font paths under "Files" are pointing to /usr/share/fonts. Once these have been updated restart your fonts server. I found it was looking at /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 which did not contain anything. This resolved the problem for me. |

Does anyone know if all this still needs doing for app-office/gnucash-1.8.12 or have things changed since May last year?
