I stand corrected, the same has happened to BitchX
Quote: | make[1]: execvp: ln: Too many levels of symbolic links
make[1]: *** [wterm.c] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source'
make: *** [wserv] Error 2
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line -96, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/net-irc/bitchx/bitchx-1.0.19-r2.ebuild . |

Some long shots:
1. Is /var/tmp/ on a case-insensitive filesystem?
2. Do you have a cross-compiler installed or is there anything unusual about your gcc environment that might be noteworthy?
3. Can you poke around these directories in /var/tmp that are giving you problems with ls, looking for circular links like the following:
Code: | $ mkdir /tmp/tarpit
$ cd /tmp/tarpit
$ ln -s tp1 tp2
$ ln -s tp2 tp3
$ ln -s tp3 tp1
$ ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rac users 3 Jul 13 02:13 tp1 -> tp3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rac users 3 Jul 13 02:12 tp2 -> tp1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rac users 3 Jul 13 02:13 tp3 -> tp2
$ touch tp1
touch: creating `tp1': Too many levels of symbolic links |

My filesystem is ext3. gcc: Latest version Installed: 2.95.3-r5. Nothing note worthy that I can think of. Most everything I've installed is from the desktop guide. This was all working previously and I can't think of anything might have done to break it.
I performed the following to check for sym links... I also did "grep lr" to be certain.
Code: | root@creep tmp # ls -Rl /var/tmp | grep lrwx
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 1 16:56 plugins -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 13 02:59 bcompat.c -> ./compat.c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 13 02:59 bircsig.c -> ./ircsig.c
root@creep tmp # slocate bcompat.c bircsig.c
/var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bcompat.c
/var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bircsig.c
root@creep tmp # ls -l /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bcompat.c /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bircsig.c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 13 02:59 /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bcompat.c -> ./compat.c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 13 02:59 /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/bircsig.c -> ./ircsig.c
root@creep tmp # ls -l /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/compat.c /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/ircsig.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 59954 May 7 2001 /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/compat.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1161 Mar 5 2001 /var/tmp/portage/bitchx-1.0.19-r2/work/BitchX/source/ircsig.c

Things seem to be getting worse instead of better. I did emerge clean rsync and when i tried to update bzip2, glibc was updated and I got more "make: execvp: ln: Too many levels of symbolic links" errors which don't seem to make sense.
I'm willing to give someone shell access to look at the problem more closely. |
