emerge of tdb fails [SOLVED]

[dave_deu]

Hi, please could someone help me with a problem I've had for a good few months now. When I do a global update emerge tries to compile tdb but fails with the following errors shortly after the build starts:

Any ideas?

Thanks.

No ideas really. Have you run python-updater?

That looks odd. What is the output of emerge --info? How regularly have you updated Gentoo? When did you upgrade to Python 2.6 and remove Python 2.5?

[manywele]

Hey, I think I just ran into this myself doing some major cleanup. I just got rid of python-2.5 (hey, I've been busy) and even though eselect python list showed my python version as 2.6 it was still set up wrong. I think /usr/bin/python was pointing to something wrong instead of /usr/bin/python-wrapper. I just ran

Code: Select all

eselect python set 1

and it fixed the python link.

This is definitely the problem.

[dave_deu]

I've tried redoing eselect but that didn't fix it. I've also tried python-updater which I killed after a while because it wasn't finding any more programs and just seemed to have stopped doing anything. Here's the output of python-updater:

Code: Select all

etc.

I can't remember when I upgraded python. I update my system weekly.

Here is emerge --info:

Any chance you've got a stale python-config from python 2.5 somewhere ?
That package/ebuild is a bit broken in regard to python.

[dave_deu]

If I look inside the python-config script it points correctly to 2.6:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Gentoo python-config wrapper script

[[ "${EPYTHON}" =~ (/|^python$) ]] && EPYTHON="python2.6"
python_config="${EPYTHON/python/python-config-}"
"${0%/*}/${python_config:-python-config-2.6}" "$@"

[VoidMage]

Though the error you've posted says something about '/usr/bin/python2.5-config'.

[dave_deu]

In python2.5-config the first line specifies the interpreter as /usr/bin/python2.5 which is why it fails because I no longer have this file on my system.

The question is, why is my system using python2.5-config?

[dave_deu]

Thanks for the tips as always. I solved this problem by simply deleting /usr/bin/python2.5-config. I don't why this works but it does. tdb now emerges fine.
