I've pared down my system to a minimal state. emerge --depclean returns no actions needed, but I think it may have gotten a litte too exuberant.
revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild python but the emerge fails here: >>> Source unpacked. >>> >>> Compiling source in >>> /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4/work/Python-2.5.1 . .. * econf failed [...] * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1- r4/temp/environment'. * [...] * ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 46: Called src_compile * environment, line 3304: Called econf 'src_compile' 'src_compile' '--w ith-fpectl' '--enable-shared' '--disable-ipv6' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' '--ma ndir=${prefix}/share/man' '--with-libc=' * ebuild.sh, line 507: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "econf failed" * The die message: * econf failed I'm not finding this line `ebuild.sh 507' or even the file anywhere in the build area or elsewhere for that matter. Not able to devine any clues from: /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4/temp/environment either. Its not at all clear where the * Call stack leads. At least not to me. But apparently it has something to do with src_compile in the ebuild. Anyone recognize this kind of error? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
