Hello, hal 0.5.9-r1 constantly fails to emerge on one of my machines with this error:

I've tried many things (using no USE flags, emerge the testing version of pciutils, searching the forums and the gentoo bugzilla :p and others) but I still can't find the problem which seems to be specific to my machine.
If someone has any idea at all...

emerge --info in case it helps:

Perhaps this will help:

Code: Select all

$ find /usr/include/ -type f | xargs grep XML_ERROR_ABORTED
/usr/include/expat.h:  XML_ERROR_ABORTED,
/usr/include/expat.h:   return XML_STATUS_ERROR with error code XML_ERROR_ABORTED.

$ equery belongs /usr/include/expat.h
dev-libs/expat-2.0.0

Thanx for the trick!
Unfortunately it didn't work.

I tried re-emerging expat (I use the stable version 1.95.8 ). Since this didn't solve the problem I tried the testing version too (2.0.0) but still no lack.

Any other suggestions? I've run out of ideas.

When I try to emerge hal-0.5.9-r1, it complains that pciutils was installed with the zlib USE flag. Since you've got zlib in your make.conf, you might try running

USE="-zlib" emerge hal

Unfortunately...that command doesn't work for me. I have a 'sys-apps/pciutils -zlib' line in /etc/portage/package.use, I've run the above command, and yet 'equery uses pciutils' indicates that pciutils was compiled with zlib support (although it's unset). Can someone explain why this is happening? (And sorry to distract from the original topic.)

mrsaccess · Post by **mrsaccess** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:10 am

Stable version of pciutils doesn't have any use flags and hal shouldn't complain about zlib.
If you use a testing version of pciutils then try re-emerging it ( emerge -va pciutils ) just to be sure that it is built without zlib support.

dkostic · Post by **dkostic** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 5:08 pm

I must have done emerge pciutils about a million times. It keeps building it with zlib, for some odd reason. (My emerge --info is posted here < http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-57 ... ight-.html >, by the way.) Any other ideas what could be causing this to happen?

mrsaccess · Post by **mrsaccess** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:33 pm

Which version of pciutils do you use? The stable one or one of the testing versions? Try a different one!

dkostic · Post by **dkostic** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 1:36 am

I used the most recent stable version. I found a work around though: see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-56 ... ight-.html

A small bump!

The problem still exists! I'm stuck to version 0.5.7.1-r5 of hal for more than a year now!
In this time almost every -if not all- component of my gentoo installation has been upgraded yet the problem remains. I have even emerge -e world΄d my system!

I've tried all versions of hal, both stable and unstable ones, but I always get the same error!

Code: Select all

Any ideas, please???

I came across the same problem with my system.

I had not noticed the issue until I tried to compile HAL myself.

After looking into the problem, I discovered that I had installed expat-2.0.1, but the include/expat.h file was of version 1.95.2.

Well, this was pretty interesting because I installed everything on my system from scratch myself.
Which means on of the packages separate from expat is installing its own version over the system version!

So, onto time stamps!
Looking around at time stamps, the only packages that had identical time-stamps to the offensive expat.h's time-stamp were apr, apr-util, and neon.

I first looked for expat.h in each of their archives and did not find anything.
However, if one of these was installing expat.h, then the contents of the expat.h file should also be _somewhere_ in the source.
A quick grep for EXPAT_MAJOR_VERSION revealed that apr had its own version of expat nicely hidden under guise of: include/arch/netware/apr_arch_pre_nw.h

I haven't bothered to test the other files given that I found the offensive expat.h in the Apache Portable Runtime!
This brings into question what else APR might be installing over.

I don't use gentoo, but I ran into this unresolved thread so I decided to offer my insight and solution.

Your solution will have to be to forcefully re-install expat or download the sources and copy the expat.h to the /usr/include/ directory.

Thanks for your help. Actually the problem is solved and I'm terribly sorry not to have updated the thread.

I filed a bug two months ago and with the guidance of some devs I was able to pinpoint the problem:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219289

It was similar to yours: an old version of expat.h was getting linked in.
A search for expat returned some copies of this file. Most of them were in the subdirectories of the application which needed them.
But the search also revealed that I had two versions of expat installed, the default under /usr and an additional one under /usr/local. Portage wasn't aware of the second one, maybe a leftover from an old mistake of mine? Nonetheless due to path settings it was getting linked in and it indeed was an older version hence the problem.

Thanks again to all the people who tried to helped!

emerge =hal-0.5.9-r1 fails

emerge =hal-0.5.9-r1 fails

The cause is APR!
