emerge -uv gnome-panel fails

Same problem here...

I've rsync'd, updated world, env-update, etc... with no luck

Reading through the forums, I found some reference to scrollkeeper
which I tried to emerge with no luck as well.

This a clean install of Gentoo starting from Stage 2.

hey guys i had the same problem too....
i origionally worked around it by renaming all the omf files to omf.out but that only ended in the next package having the same problems....

i also read in other posts avout scrollkeeper and found that, at least in my experience that you have to do the following

emerge -C scrollkeeper
emerge scrollkeeper

i tried an emerge -u scrollkeeper but that didnt solve my problem at all only unmergind and then remerging the app helped me out.... however now i am getting another problem about omf time sync on the latest stable gnome-games

hope this help you out...

Thanks, will try it out shortly...

One thing I am noticing...each time
I run 'emerge gnome' it seems to get
a little further along. The error seemed
the same each time, becacuse it seemed
to be a locale change in the path.

I just ran emerge gnome again and got a
completely different error in the same
gnome-panel package.

Will let you know if I have any luck.

Scrolling further up in the build, I found an error

'Failed to create /root/.gconfd: Permission denied'

don't know if it has anything to do with it.

Removed scrollkeeper and remerged it without any help.

The ebuild gnome is still breaking in gnome-panel

...yet more info...

I'm noticing each time I do an emerge rsync, I hit a different mirror and get a different set of files transferred.

I'm having the same problems, too. I'll check back and let anyone know if I get anywhere.

Hurrah, I've now got it all working. Although I'm not sure how.

I turned down my CFLAGS a lot to a more "normal" level of optimisation, so that could be the root cause of this. It didn't seem like even "-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" though, switch to -O2 seemed to help me out. This is with gcc 3.2.3.

To get scrollkeeper to compile, I re-emerged intltool.

This didn't help gnome-panel. So I re-emerged libxml and libxml2 with the more defensive CFLAGS and gnome-panel compiled first time! Hurrah.

I'm having this problem too. I tried changing the CFLAGS bit from 03 to 02, but it doesn't make a difference. I've tried re-emerging libxml and libxml2, and that doesn't make a difference either. A little help for a poor Gentoo newb?

I get this error, btw:

!!! ERROR: gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.2.2.1 failed.
!!! Function einstall, Line 343, Exitcode 2
!!! einstall failed

:cry:

edit: this:

/bin/install: cannot stat `fish-applet-2-ja.omf.out': No such file or directory

seems to be the cause of the error.

another edit: Hmm... after a reboot, the install of gnome-panel appeared to go flawlessly. Whoopee!

yet another edit: Now it fails on the next package gnome-utils, in the same fashion, :cry:

I emerge -C scrollkeeper and them emerge'd with -O2 compiler setting libxml libxml2 intltool scrollkeeper and then everything worked. During my hacking, I also re-emerge'd gcc with some weaker compiler settings so it may be something like that also.

I just emerged gnome-utils 2.2.3 using this without a problem either.

I was having the same problems emerging gnome, running Athlon-XP stage 3 Gentoo, but after about the 10th time of trying to emerge gnome-panel, it just worked - no changes to CFLAGS or make.conf settings. I read the bug report but it is obviously not reproducible EVERY time . . . Does this mean that it is a problem with the code, the compiler options, or the hardware???

Given what I saw from it... I personally think it is gcc at fault. The thing is, I've got no concrete evidence of that either to report a bug.

I'd welcome other opinions though!

recompiled my libxml and libxml2 and inttool with -mcpu-athlon-xp -03 as my cflags

hope this helps.

When I was having those problems I deleted the .gconf dir in /root/ and the system seemed to build the package. I had to do it after each package so it might be something in the ebuild i'm not really sure.

That was without rebuilding any packages with changed CFlages.
