Hi!

The OpenAFS ebuild seems pretty broken. 

1) It fails for not finding a h-file LINUX/osi_vfs.h in src/afs

2) it tries to link statically against a .so-file (libncurses.so)

I'm adding a dosed to replace libncurses.so with libncurses.a if no one
objects.

Ok, I've located the problem. I found that /usr/include/linux is no
longer a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux, so the stuff in
/usr/include/linux no longer reflects my current kernel.

Which package installs /usr/include/linux (linux-source)? If so I think
openafs should depend on that package since it doesn't compile
otherwise.

Does it use -lncurses in your case (to link dynamically?) Here it's
hardcoded to /usr/lib/libncurses.so (in the Makefile.in-file).

Where do /usr/lib/libncurses.so point?

Yes, I had them but they are for kernel 2.4.10 and not for 2.4.14 which
I have. This makes the build fail!

Making a link from /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
fixed the problem.

Yes, but the package when unpacked has hardcoded /usr/lib/libncurses.so
not -lncurses which it should have if linking dynamically.

Which ncurses-package do you have installed, I have 5.2-r3 and it
doesn't even build dynamic libs. there is a 5.2-r4 which is masked out
with the comment "Still doesn't work".

do you see the following line in the configure output

checking whether to build osi_vfs.h... wrote src/afs/LINUX/osi_vfs.h

?

strange, here it looked in /usr/include/linux and said nothing useful or
something and then jumped over the part that made osi_vfs.h.

Hmm .. why is there a libncurses.a in /usr/lib and on in /lib? the one
in /usr/lib is _not_ a symlink to /lib/libncurses.a

Yes, I only looked in /usr/lib. Found the dynamic libs in /lib.
Anyway, should it build static or dynamic. Either way the Makefile.in is
wrong. Because it says /usr/lib/libncurses.so and should be saying
either:

For static:  /lib/libncurses.a
For dynamic: -lncurses

Is it possible for you to join irc for a while?

The latest ncurses package has a link for libncurses.so and here
afsmonitor and compile_et are linked agains this shared lib. So the
dosed is not required I think.
I just retried the build here and it still works fine, my system build
is from the last three days.

these headers are in sys-kernel/linux-headers and you should have them
if you have merged the whole base system

hmm here /usr/include/linux never occures in my build log-file but
instead /usr/src/linux/include/linux

Well it seems to work here unmodified but if you wanna do that fix
please make sure it uses the lib in /lib and
not the symlink in /usr/lib. I'll remove this link, cuz it was only
needed to build openafs.

Sounds like your gcc build was not complete (that was my prob last time
I had no dynamic ncurses libs).
I have 5.2-r3 installed here -r4 is for gcc-3.0.x if I remember correct.
Or you only looked into /usr/lib and not into /lib :)

I think, it is glibc. AFAIK suggested Linus some time ago to use the
kernel-includes from a "known good" kernel instead of the current
kernel-source for compiling generic linux-programs, so the link
was replaced with a directory containing the header from such a
kernel-source-tree ...

Wouldn't it be better to use a compiler-flag like "-I/usr/src/linux/include"
instead? That would lead to "using kernel headers from current kernel source"
instead of the kernel-headers from the glibc installation ...

This problem is solved, turned out to be my fault. I (for some unknown
reason) had forgot to make the /usr/src/linux->/usr/src/linux-2.4.14
symlink.

The package already lookes in /usr/src/linux/include.

Sorry about this.

Hmm, you shouldnt need to create it, since the ebuild should
create.

Linus has indicated that we are doing things the "right" way.  However, this
new "right" way we've started using tends to cause problems, and we never 
had any problems with the "wrong" way.

You could also emerge a newer linux-headers (once one is available).

[gentoo-dev] How stable is RC-6?

[Nicholas Burlett]

I've been using gentoo rc5 since the middle of the summer, and I'm quite
happy with it. I'm looking to upgrade to RC6, but I want to make sure
that it's safe to do so (ie: the install won't leave my computer in a
state of disrepear unless I don't follow the directions...)

I don't mind if some things are broken (I hear some of the e-builds
don't work yet). 

Thanks, and continue the great work!

[Bart Verwilst]

rc6 is stable enough for you to upgrade.
I use Gentoo rc6 as my default desktop, and
i haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary.
Ofcourse there are some bugs here and there, but just tell
your bugs to the friendly Gentoo dev's, and they will fix the
problem in a matter of hours ;)
I don't see a problem in it, have fun!

Ditto for me.  I've been running _rc6 for several months now, and it's
rock solid.  A few ebuilds for various packages along the way have
failed, but the developers fixed them muy pronto.

that is not the fault of the ebuild ... the problem here ist that people 
like to change vfs definitions very often lately .. since afs mostly is
a kernel extension which depends on that structures it won't compile
with recent kernels .. unfortunately afs developers don't tell you which
kernel will compile .. if i remember right openafs-1.2.2 will compile
with kernels > 2.4.12 or maybe 2.4.10

cya
