samba install failure

[iaw]

dear gentoo-experts:

Probably another error of mine, so I did not report this to the bugs data base. when I emerge samba, I get

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcups

Hello iaw, Maybe try re-emerging cups.

Patrick

[iaw]

even after cups emerge, this still fails. time to file a bug report?

One other thing I would recommend is try reemerging with a base make.conf file without all the use flags incase one of them are causing a conflict. Could emerge -pv to see affecting use flags.

After some research I am able to recreate this issue by removing this file: /usr/lib/libcups.a. There is a fairly good chance that is the file at fault so check to make sure it is there. Since you have reemerged cups it really should be there so maybe a corrupt filesystem so run the appropriate fsck command. Also maybe the output of this command would help "ldconfig -p |grep libcups.so".

thank you. I uninstalled cups and reinstalled it. alas, now I know that cups decides to move itself into /usr/lib64, and this one was not in the path. (earlier link in /usr/lib/ was a dead link.)

I added /usr/lib64/ to the path. This seems to fix the problem. how interesting---even on a 32bit machine, /usr/lib64 becomes live.
