Hi all, I am trying to emerge dev-perl/Ace-1.920.0-r2 on my Gentoo Prefix on MacOS and it fails trying to run "rpcgen -I -K -1 rpcace.x" and not finding rpcgen (or rather finding the XCode version of it which I don't want)
This being Prefix, things are expected to fail, so both options are possible: 1) rpcgen is provided by some package which is not listed as a dependency of dev-perl/Ace 2) dev-perl/Ace does not really need rpcgen and a proper build configuration would avoid trying to call it. As for option 1, Wikipedia says that rpcgen is part of "Sun Microsystems ONC RPC". The only package I could find that would mention sunrpc in the description is net-libs/libtirpc, but I don't see any mention of rpcgen in its sources (I could not emerge it yet either) Maybe I am looking in the wrong place and something else would provide a working rpcgen? There are quite a few rpc-related packages in Gentoo and I would not be able to just try each of them. As for option 2 - I don't actually know what dev-perl/Ace is, I need it for bioperl which I need for something else... I don't see any rpc-related use flags and not sure where else to look that would influence its dependence on that rpcgen. TL;DR: I have two questions: 1) Does anybody know of a Gentoo package which provides the tool "rpcgen" 2) Does anybody know how dev-perl/Ace is meant to be compiled and whether the dependence on rpcgen is necessary. The information requested by a failing emerge is attached (including the slightly modified ebuild working around previous build failures) Thanks in advance! Anton
