Makefile:

You probably upload the wrong file. This can't be this one.
But I think I found the problem, and it seems to be a bug : make is
actually failing on this line in the Makefile :
/* -*- mode: C++; tab-width: 4; c-basic-offset: 4; -*- */
Can you please run the following commands to copy the ebuild to an
overlay ( assuming /usr/local/portage is the overlay ) :
# cd /usr/local/portage
# mkdir -p app-office/abiword/files
# cd app-office/abiword
# cp /usr/portage/app-office/abiword/abiword/abiword-2.6.4.ebuild .
Then, edit abiword.2.6.4.ebuild, and add the following src_unpack
function :
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A}
cd ${S}
epatch ${FILESDIR}/fix-build.patch
}
Download the fix-build.patch from here to /tmp/fix-build.patch :
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=39475871613771688451
Finally run :
# cd /usr/local/portage/app-office/abiword
# cp /tmp/fix-build.patch files/
# ebuild abiword.2.6.4.ebuild digest
# emerge =abiword-2.6.4
If it fix the problem, you should open a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org,
with your emerge --info, the build log when it fails, and the patch.

Le Sun, 26 Nov 2006 13:41:56 +0100, Harm Geerts a écrit : This only forces portage to retrieve *all* of portage's metadata from the server *again*. Yes. If the corruption is local, a normal rsync will fix this. Not necessarily. See bug #145482. Synchronization again and again (on several days) didn't resolve this. I removed the entire cache, as suggested, and it magically worked. And I discovered later that the filesystem was corrupted. If the corruption is on the upstream rsync mirror, you will retrieve the same corrupt metadata again. I've never seen that case. removing the metadata from the portage tree only results in more data transfers from the rsync mirror. Yes, but obviously, you must not do it every day. @Mick : I suggest that you run a fsck on your filesystem. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] /System.map???

Copy your System.map to /.
If you have separate /boot and /usr partitions, the System.map file is
searched in /.
[quote from /sbin/modules-update]
for cfg in /lib/modules/${KV}/build /usr/src/linux-${KV} \
/boot /usr/src/linux
do
cfg=${cfg}/System.map
[[ -f ${cfg} ]] break

Re: [gentoo-user] /System.map???
Michael W. Holdeman a écrit :
Is this new, don't remember ever doing it before..
Yes.
With older baselayout [1], the System.map file wasn't required :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
depmod -a ${KV}
fi
[/code]
One day, the code evolved to :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
ewarn System.map not found - unable to check symbols
fi
[/code]
So, developpers decided to search the System.map file in different
paths, but if your /boot and /usr directories are mounted on partitions,
you must copy the file in /, because modules-update is ran before
mounting partitions.
