I used to use gentoo Linux on my servers, for a few years, but it became too cumbersome and complicated, and failure prone.
If I were you I'd check the config.log for the failed ebuild and investigate the failure of the test compile, assuming your current failure is the same one you encountered last time. I've had _some_ luck in debugging compile problems by looking at at the config.log. Beyond this, I would guess that you're looking at a gentoo ebuild problem/bug and posting it to the gentoo bug system might get you more help than you'll find here, although YMMV on dealing with individual package maintainers through bugs.gentoo.org. The gentoo courier package manager is probably subscribed to this list. I believe that at some point I pulled courier from gentoo package management and went to building it directly from the source from courier-mta.org. If your current courier installation is from a gentoo ebuild (or not!), you can run courier-config to get the configure script arguments and adjust your custom build to put everything in the same places. I think courier-authdaemon is built as part of the main courier package, and this is doubtless where you're having a problem. Make sure you have the latest development package/ebuild for ldap|slapd|whatever installed. On Fri, 2013-08-16 at 07:56 -0700, Nick Ellson wrote: > OK.. everyone want a laugh?
