...title says it all, amd64 multilib profile trying to compile bdftopcf (dependency) and I get

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../lib64/libXfont.so: undefined referance to 'ft_isdigit'

and then compile, emerge fails. tried googling it, one result... no solution advice or ideas. Anyone here know what's up?

Well, it's a freetype problem. If you've emerged gentoolkit, run revdep-rebuild. If not, emerge it, and run revdep-rebuild.

I have the same problem. Revdep-rebild didn't help.

likewise, nor did re-merging freetype or libXfont

What versions of freetype and xfont are you using currently?

lostdave · Post by **lostdave** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 9:27 am

freetype-2.3.5 +X +zlib -bindist -debug -doc
libXfont-1.2.8 +ipv6 -debug

I did it. Not help.

freetype-2.3.5
libXfont-1.2.8

Umm, OK, try this out for now. I'm checking something out. Anyway:

Code: Select all

revdep-rebuild -vv -i --library libfreetype.so* -- -p

The '-p' at the end is so it doesn't do an actual emerge. Remove if you want.

rebuilt (via the above revdep-rebuild):

freetype-2.3.5 (again)
fontconfig-2.4.2
mkfontscale-1.0.3
libXfont-1.2.8 (again)
libXft-2.1.12
cairo-1.4.10

no change

I have the same problem with bdftopcf...

sbn · Post by **sbn** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 10:44 am

I found the issue.

Code: Select all

wget http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/libXfont-1.3.0.tar.gz

./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install
emerge bdftopcf

confirmed, libXfont-1.3.0 fixes this. Renaming the ebuild and putting it in an overlay works, rather than building manually.

ihuax · Post by **ihuax** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:13 am

libXfont-1.3.0 is working properly...thx guys;)

Now I'm wondering why mine even works at all.

Please file a version bump request bug describing the problem which the new version resolves and mentioning that the ebuild in the tree works for the new version.

i asked on #gentoo-bugs this morning, they said it should be fixed as far as today by pulling a libXfont-1.3.0 in portage so i guess syncing later today or tommorow should do the trick..
gentoo community is great, isnt it

Same issue, confirmed libXfont-1.3.0 did the trick. Thanks!

ok folks, libXfont-1.3.0 is in portage and its work for me,thank to #gentoo-bugs

I'm glad I found this solution. This worked for me too. I was having problems compiling xorg-server-1.3.0 until I upgraded to the libXfont-1.3.0.
Thanks

I can confirm that I had this error and it was indeed cured by upgrading to libXfont-1.3.0.
