I recently tried to rebuild ingres from src on Gentoo 2006.1, only to discover that it does not! The issue is relatively simple - later versions of 'sort' not accept the +n arg and expect -k(n+1) instead.

Hi, Mark.

If you get a moment, could you send along the output of "sort --version" on your Gentoo system? Also, do you have POSIXLY_CORRECT defined in your build environment?


Mike -

POSIX* is not defined (well not anywhere I could see - checked output of 'env' and examined '/etc/make.conf').


$ sort --version
