[gentoo-dev] emerge with portage 1.6.7

[gentoo-dev] emerge with portage 1.6.7

[Kevin Gordon]

Hi everyone,
Help with these please:
(1) emerge --pretend parted-1.4.17.ebuild
     error: could not find match for >=sys-devel/automake-1.4_p5

(2) emerge nautilus needs:
      emerge librsvg-1.0.1.ebuild
     fails at rsvg-ft.c (too fast to catch line!)
     Can a bash buffer/screen be increased in size. I lose a lot off the
top.

(3) I am still using linux-2.4.1_pre8-r1. I have collected up to 3 copies of
increasing versions of applications and libraries in many areas. I guess I
can unmerge the older applications but the libraries I am not sure whether
to unmerge. I need a tidy up as more and more upgrades move in as
dependencies. What is the most practical approach?

Best Regards,
Kevin Gordon

Hmm.. I'm not sure how to increase the bash buffer but if you are
running in a terminal window there shouldn't be a problem. Since you are
trying to merge nautilus I assume you have gnome-core (with
gnome-terminal). It's easy to increase the buffer in it.

Please post when you know what's the problem when building rsvg.

Thanks for the reply Mikael,

I used gnome terminal as suggested: not sure how to copy and paste result:

compiling rsvg-paint-server.c
rsvg-ft.c:56: parse error before 'FT_Library'
rsvg-ft.c:56:warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

then miles of similar errors

I already have nautilus installed (1.0)

Previous to this I thought I was successful (for the first time) in emerge
evolution. It runs ok but can not find the composer. Has anyone else been
successful with evolution?

Many thanks

This sounds like some problems with FreeType (which freetype do you have
installed?)

Hmm .. Nautilus requests librsvg, how did you manage to install Nautilus
without installing librsvg?

Yes, I'm using Evolution and it works just fine, if you try to open a
gnome-terminal. Then type:

oaf-slay
killev

and then start Evolution in that terminal-window. What errors do you get
when you try to open the composer.

ebuild freetype-2.0.1-r1.ebuild (first)
ebuild freetype-1.3.1-r2.ebuild (Daniel advised me to install the older
version to overcome a problem. I think it was with libgd-1.8.3-r1)

Definitely have not got librsvg. ebuild Nautilus-0.8.2.ebuild and later
ebuild nautilus-1.0.ebuild: both would have given message successfully
merged otherwise I log messages. Before nautilus-0.8.2 had previously
merged: sawfish, libunicode, gal, gtkhtml, libgtop, openssl, ammonite,
medusa, nautilus-0.8.2 hence no librsvg! Not sure which of these are
dependencies of nautilus.

Carried out steps above. In gnome terminal: .....activated successfully:
contacts, My Evolution, vtrash, mailstorge, mail, schema 'mailto', tasks,
calendar. Two message boxes "Could not create composer window" followed by
"Unable to retrieve message from editor". Does this make any sense Mikael?

I do have too many older versions of many applications and will unmerge some
in the weekend.

Many thanks
Kevin

Yes, libgd needs freetype-1.3.1 but I don't think there will be a
problem with both freetype2 and freetype1 (I think I have them both at
home).

Hmm, I had no problems building librsvg 1.0.1.

Could you try to remove all old packages and libraries from your system
and update to latest package of all of Nautilus dependencies. If you
find out which package is too old, please let me know and I'll update
the dependency line.

Hmm, not really :) Haven't seen it before.
Perhaps it solves by updating and removing old libraries.
