Error installing Gnome on Gentoo

asamaniego · 04-14-2004, 06:14 PM

Hello,
I'm having problems installing Gnome on my new Gentoo (2004.0 with a 2.6.5 kernel).
When I type "emerge gnome" or "emerge --deep gnome" I get the error beneath:

Code:

!!! ERROR: net-www/mozilla-1.6-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 379, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

I don't know what is happening with Mozilla but I think that could be a mistake in my /etc/make.conf file. Here it is:

Code:

-------------------------  make.conf ---------------------------------
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that
automatically built this stage
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

Thanks!

Note: Sorry... My english is awful!

I always thought my USE flags are a mess but you got me beat there.You'll need the gtk2 flag to build gnome in there but that shouldn't be the holdup.First check how much space you got in your PORTAGE_TMPDIR (default is /var/tmp).Mozilla needs in the neighborhood of 1 gig temp space to compile.Then either try to get rid of some use flags or try with O2 as compiler flag.For use flags it's nice to use ufed if don't do that already.

Hi asamaniego,

try 'emerge 'sync' (no quotes) and possibly 'emerge portage' or 'emerge rsync'.

And try running 'emerge gnome' again.

Hope I helped ,

Later.

Thank you! Linux is killing me...

Hi,

I get the same error, did you ever solve this?

I am about to edit *.ebuild files to remove mozilla, since -mozilla in the USE var does not seem to do it.

Not sure if I understand how the whole USE var system works, but I did intstall gentoolkit and there is a util `etcat uses gnome' it says nothing about mozilla, neither does `emerge -pv gnome' say anything about mozilla. It seems that mozilla is a valid USE var in ${PORTAGE_DIR}/profiles/use.desc (btw, what does this get used for[the file])

Is there a way to _exclude_ packages? I saw something in a bugzilla entry about that... that it might get added....

crashmeister · 04-27-2004, 05:56 AM

You could do emerge inject mozilla then portage thinks that mozilla is installed but then the epiphany (or whatever it is called) compile will fail.You'd also need to inject that.There might be other things that depend on mozilla and won't build.For the USE flags you can install ufed.Thats a little utility that shows the available use flags and has an explanation what they do with it.

asamaniego · 04-27-2004, 06:09 AM

Hello,
I've fixed my problem removing the mozaccess option from my USE variable.

Hope I helped,

Álvaro

NOTE: Post your USE variable too.

sonika_trip · 04-27-2004, 06:28 AM

hehe, just injected it and it works, thanks. (or it is compiling at the moment)

I will remove mozaccess if that does not work.

nice one on the ufed util!

Thanks for all the tips.

PS: what does inject do? cause I do not see the entry when I qpk -I | grep mozilla and I do not see it in the _world_ database

crashmeister · 04-27-2004, 06:57 AM

AFAIK it doesn't show up in the wold database because then it would compile it when you do a world update and you inject it for not getting it compiled.

sonika_trip · 04-27-2004, 07:44 AM

Do you have no idea what it does with this _stub_ it creates?

crashmeister · 04-27-2004, 07:52 AM

Truth be told - no.I am sure that you could find out somewhere in the depth of man portage but I gave up on understanding it for the moment since they are changing around portage and the config files about every other hour for the last couple of weeks.If they ever seddle down on something I go to invest some energy in understanding it again if I still use gentoo then which is highly questionable.Right now it seems to be just a colossal waste of time.Way I look at it it's halfway b0rked right now any way you look at it anyway.

sonika_trip · 04-27-2004, 07:55 AM

According to the code, it creates this file with a number

Code:

def cpv_inject(self,mycpv):
		"injects a real package into our on-disk database; assumes mycpv is valid and doesn't already exist"
		os.makedirs(self.root+"var/db/pkg/"+mycpv)	
		counter=db[self.root]["vartree"].dbapi.counter_tick()
		# write local package counter so that emerge clean does the right thing
		lcfile=open(self.root+"var/db/pkg/"+mycpv+"/COUNTER","w")
		lcfile.write(str(counter))
		lcfile.close()

I will delete it and see what happens

sonika_trip · 04-27-2004, 09:04 AM

ok, the problem was in my make.conf; asamaniego, this might be your problem as well, I am running an AMD Athlon.

Commented was giving me errors(possibly obviousely!) :
#CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
#CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
#CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

and I changed it to(which makes much more sense) :

CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
