rpm-4.0.4 borked

I'm having problems with the latest rpm package, which is required by the latest kdeadmin package, which is installed with the latest KDE package, which is installed automagically on my computer with an emerge -u world.

Works like a charm

Thanks! Compiling...

Yep, worked fine.

Perhaps a new version of Portage could have integrated bug reporting/querying so that if an emerge fails, it could see if someone has reported a workaround? That'd be nice

I've run the procedures listed in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3312&highlight=rpm

It seems my original error is different.

Here is a summary of the error:
status: creating txn_ext.h
config.status: creating xa_ext.h
config.status: creating db_config.h
cd . && aclocal
aclocal: /usr/share/aclocal/xine.m4: 29: duplicated macro `AM_PATH_XINE'
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

!!! ERROR: the make command did not complete successfully.
!!! ("make")
!!! Since this is a critical task, ebuild will be stopped.

!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/app-arch/rpm/rpm-4.0.4-r1.ebuild .

I am trying to emerge kde3.0.1.

Ok, I went and did an "emerge clean" but now emerge refuses to work at all. Here is the error.

emerge -c rsync

Its looking for make.globals. What do I need to do now?

Thanks

Sorry, the command I showed in my last post was wrong. I get the same error when trying any emerge. Somehow make.globals was removed?

Yeah, I found that out. I just went into IRC and somebody told me about a rescue for portage. Luckily it worked and emerge is working again normally ( I think) I did an emerge rsync and it ran fine so I tried emerge rpm and still came up with the same error as before.

Ok, RPM is compiling. I believe I may have compiled XINE from source sometime back. I looked closer at the error moved the file

/usr/share/aclocal/xine.m4

to /tmp and walla RPM compiles now.

Thanks for the help Proxy!!
