have you tried the -cups in the USE variable?? I mean it like this:

A bug report has been filed about this - in September

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65604

USE="-cups" isn't much use if you're trying to emerge -e world.

I built gnome at work without issue.

At home I receive the above error.

Any updates on a fix anyone?

I am having the same problem. Removing cups doesn't help.

Me too. This is annoying.

The patch as suggested in bugzilla looks fine

the first parameter passed to gnome_cups_ui_init is not used if it's set to NULL, so changing the gnome-cups-ui_init line to

sure, USE="-cups" works, but you won't have cups support in nautilus

and the patch mentioned is the patch I was referring too as well

for lazy types, this patch does the same as:
edit /usr/portage/gnome-base/nautilus/files/nautilus-2-x-printers.patch
search for "gnome_cups_ui_init"
place "NULL" between the brackets

This has got to be one of the stupidest bugs I've ever been affected by. When I saw the error message, I thought, "there's probably a null or zero parameter that the developer forgot about, but that's a pretty dumb compile-time thing you catch in debugging." I guess the gnome people aren't big cups fans... including the print manager developers. This bug report is from september?! Things like this make the MS "patch tuesday" program look pretty good in comparison. How many people need to edit the code by hand before the developers follow suit?

That was an easy enough fix. But it raised a question that I've been wondering. Since it is a bug in the Nautilus code, and people in the Gentoo Bugzilla fixed it, will the patch ever make it upstream to the folks working on Gnome? Or, do we have to complain and wait for Gnome developers to discover the missing NULL independently and then fix it? I've noticed that the folks in the Gentoo forum and bugzilla tend to get their hands dirty and fix alot of broken software, but that the software being distributed elsewhere stays broken until the author fixes it.

So, is there some mechanism (apart from somebody just emailing whoever is responsible, or adding it to Gnome's bugzilla) that this patch, and other fixes like them, can easily be applied to the parent project? Gentoo users do alot of work getting the stuff to work on their machines, and it wouuld be a shame for it all to go to waste.

In the latest ebuilds for nautilus 2.8.2, you actually have to remove the "NULL" from the parentheses. Otherwise, the compile fails with the message "too many arguments."

Thus, the patch called nautilus-2.8-x-printers.patch must be edited such that the line for "gnome_cups_ui_init" just has () instead of (NULL).

HTH.

Apparently if you have libgnomecups > 0.1.10 (I have 0.1.14), nautilus ebuild is fixed for ~x86 at least (again, that's what I use here). It compiles OK now for me.

EDIT - The bug report actaully mentions gnome-cups-manager, so maybe the libgnomecups version is irrelevant. For the record I have gnome-cups-manager-0.28 here.

Hi!

I am trying to emerge gnome for the first time on my new amd64, but while emerging and compiling nautilus-cd-burner-2.8.5 I get a similar error-message. There is probably a nullpointer-exception or something like that. I am in Ubunto right now and here are the last messages printed to the screen:

merdan · Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:04 pm Post subject: Problem magically fixed

After inserting a bunch of use-flags into make.conf the process of emerging gnome went with no problems and even succeeded with installing Nautilus and Nautilus-cd-burner-2.8.5 on my AMD-64. (See previous posting for the error that stopped gnome from emerging).

After updating the make.conf I did this:

If anyone on AMD-64 has a similar problem emerging gnome I can always post my make.conf file.
