I'm trying to do an emerge -u world and keep getting the following error from blackbox
make[3]: *** [blackbox.cat] Error 1

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
!!! ERROR: x11-wm/blackbox-0.62.1-r3 failed.

| We need to see the actual error - you've just pasted info after that, showing make bailing out of the directories. Please post everything after the very last command that executed without an error. |

Thanks for looking at this.
Here is the output just before the error right up to the first error

Had the same error here earlier, iBook, gcc 3.2.3-r2. Haven't had time to consider whether or not to post to bugzilla, but I didn't find any reported bug that would match this.
In case it might help, USE flags are "oss xv nls mitshm gif ppc cups foomaticdb gnome-libs gdbm erkdb slang readline guile sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww perl python esd imlib motif scanner X gtk gtk2 gnome usb ssl opengl alsa pda gphoto2 jpeg png tiff dvd mpeg oggvorbis encode mozilla tetex quicktime -kde -qt -qtmt -arts bonobo evo gb gtkhtml imap mbox -maildir zlib crypt truetype -matrox pdflib tcltk"
For completeness, CFLAGS are "-Os -pipe -mcpu=750 -fsigned-char -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer" |

| That 'invalid character' message isn't an error - I see that all the time with fluxbox/blackbox. I suspect the error is somewhere further down. |

Other than the 'configure' step, there's not much else that seems to get done by the ebuild -- it seems to do the language-related stuff (docs, translations) right after 'configure', then spits out the translation errors, and stops.
There are a couple warnings at the beginning; with context:
| Code: | >>> Unpacking blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/blackbox-0.62.1-r3/work
>>> Source unpacked.

creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes |
And then the configure step continues, apparently as it should, without any errors reported. It's when it's working in the nls subdirectory that it chokes, as reported already; here's what I see (seems the same as quoted above), with a little more context:
| Code: | make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/blackbox-0.62.1-r3/work/blackbox-0.62.1/doc'

It then spits out more invalid character errors, then quits with the same error reported in the first post here.
Any other information that might be pertinent? Or, is there a way I can get around this, by compiling without the additional language support? |

I'm wondering if it is an optimisation setting in my make.conf, I'm going to try to turn off the O2 O3 stuff and see what happens.

OK I think I have figured it out.
At least I have on my laptop, the language support must be broken somehow for PPC becuase my two x86 PC's installed this just fine. To fix it I just edited my /etc/make.conf and added -nls to the USE= line i.e. :-
USE=" -nls blah blah"
Hope this helpse someone

arris, thanks for the tip. I just tried this:
| Code: | | USE="-nls" emerge blackbox |
and the compile went without a hitch. |

blackbox and perl break with the NLS Use-flag.
This also happens on x86 
USE="-nls" emerge blackbox is only a temporary fix, I hope that it will be repaired soon |

wtf? has this been buggy for so long and _still_ the devs are not fixing it in any reasonable way? |

| It's always been a problem with fluxbox for as long as I can remember - and I don't think it's related to Gentoo specifically. My memory is a bit hazy, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up and says 'no, this works fine on any other distro'. There might be a bug filed for it - why not check? |

bonsaikitten is right the issue would be there on x86 too, I checked the make.conf on both of my x86 PC's that run gentoo and they alreay had -nls so that's why the did not see this on them. I probably won't see this on my other machines becuase I just pull down the tar.gz file and compile and install by hand and they don't ALLl run Linux (Irix, FreeBSD, OS-X).
Thanks for all the posts
Cheers

However long this may have been a known problem, I think the most important question here is, what exactly is the source of the problem? Since this is something that didn't turn up in any search I tried in bugzilla, I've submitted it, so it's now bug 31774.
Yes, this is a problem with x86, too -- I just tried there and got the same output as on ppc. Don't remember having any problem with fluxbox, though (re-built about 10 days ago). |

It's really an upstream problem and i've yet to find a solution for this.
In the meantime -nls should do

Yes, we're fortunate there's a convenient workaround. Many thanks for your help, and in general for your work on this. Life just wouldn't be the same without (black|flux|open)box....  |
