gaim 0.66-r3 ebuild fails

des09 · Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2003 5:32 pm Post subject: gaim 0.66-r3 ebuild fails

gaim 0.66-r3 seems to use its own braindead libtool, that expects to find /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2, although my box has
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3

me too!!!

I am trying to figure out if its a libtool problem specific to gaim or whether it hits all/some C++ packages - (saw some problems with mozilla-firebird or kdelibs too - cant remember which one it was).
I got the same message:

I am a bit out of my depth, not a gcc expert by any means...
The first line of the code I posted indicated to me that make was using libtool from /var/tmp/portage/gaim-0.66-r3/work/gaim-0.66/, not /sbin/libtool, or whatever it is.

Try
cd /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/files/
./fix_libtool_files.sh 3.2.2 (3.2.2 = old gcc version)

I had the same problem and this fixed me right up.

nope, no luck with fix_libtool_files.sh, I am not even sure if it found anything to fix, just told me what it had scanned.

pwh, was your problem also with gaim?

I also tried ./configure; make with no luck, so its deeper than the ebuild, then I tried modifying src/Makefile replacing gaims libtool with the one in /usr/bin, but that also failed.

too bad, ready to wait this one out, don't have qa pressing need for 0.66, 0.63 is working fine

well, it started with gaim...but I noticed that I couldn't emerge kportage, shorewall, etc.
I got the info from bugzilla 25164
as I recall I also re-emerged gcc.
afterwards I could successfully emerge gaim or any of the programs without errors.
seems several people are having this problem.

i had the same problem trying to manually install xmms-kde (it's not (yet) in the portage tree [img:ea24995fcb]http://gathering.tweakers.net/global/smileys/sadley.gif[/img:ea24995fcb]), trying to find /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2 while it should be /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3... Here's how i solved it (it might not be exactly what you wanted to hear):

as root:
1. mkdir /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu
2. ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2

it should do the trick [img:ea24995fcb]http://gathering.tweakers.net/global/smileys/loveit.gif[/img:ea24995fcb]

I'm having a slightly different problem with gnome-spell that was fixed with
[code]
cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu
ln -s 3.2.3 3.2.2
[code]
YMMV :roll:

Looks like re-emerging aspell before gtkspell (or gaim) fixes things too.
