 Posted: Sat May 25, 2002 2:13 am Post subject: Can't emerge... Well, anything |
 |
|
I installed Gentoo a few days ago, worked great, left it for a week on my "other" computer while I did the Finals thing. Now all is chaos.
I tried to emerge Fluxbox, based on the large number of comments touting as the best thing since the last thing that was better. I tried to update KDE with the new bugfix version 3.01, and tried emerging ProFTPd. Here are some of the exciting errors I was informed of:
-----------Updating KDE3---------------
sed: file conftest.s1 line 4: Unterminated `s' command
sed: Couldn't close {standard output}
creating testsuite/Makefile
sed: file conftest.s1 line 4: Unterminated `s' command
make: *** No targets. Stop.
make: *** No targets. Stop.
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 22, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/sys-devel/autoconf/autoconf-2.53a.ebuild .
---------------------------------------------------
------------------Emerging ProFTPd-----------
sed: file conftest.s1 line 4: Unterminated `s' command
sed: Couldn't close {standard output}
creating config.h
make: *** No targets. Stop.
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 42, Exitcode 2
!!! compile problem
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/net-ftp/proftpd/proftpd-1.2.4-r7.ebuild .
-----------------------------------------------------
I get the same complaint with any Emerge. I searched for forums for "Unterminated `s' command" but nothing was found.
Does anyone have any theories as to what might be the problem? |

A note: conftest.s1 doesn't seem to exist anywhere, so it is probably generated on the fly and later deleted.

Try an emerge rsync.
Sounds like you don't have some of the latest libs.
BTW I don't know if it's a good idea to just try and drop KDE 3.01 apps into 3.0

I've done an emerge rsync several times now, and have used clean options with various emerge commands as well, all to no avail. 
I was planning to update KDE and all of its apps all at once, but absolutely no emerges whatsoever work.

SOLVED:
Odd.
I had my flags in make.conf listed in this format:
CFLAGS= " \
flags flags flags \
flags flags flags "
The "\" should indicate "look on the next line," but anyway, when I put all of my flags on the same line, emerges started working again. So if anyone else has this problem, make sure your CFLAGS are formatted very conservatively.
Now Ibiblio.org seems to be down though. Somebody just doesn't want to me get anything done tonight...
