[gentoo-user] Ruby, Ragel, and Colm

[Matthias Hanft <mh@hanft.de>]

Hi,

I just wanted to "emerge ruby" on a new Gentoo server which failed
at dev-util/ragel-7.0.4 with

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib64/libfsm.la', needed by 'ragel'.  Stop.

(immediately before, dev-util/colm-0.14.7-r2 was installed successfully)

I already have found https://bugs.gentoo.org/766210 and https://bugs.gentoo.org/766051
both "resolved fixed" - but apparently not?!

With ">=dev-util/ragel-7.0.1" in package.mask, ragel 7.0.0.12 and colm 0.13.0.7 are
correctly installed. But I'm afraid that this won't be a solution forever...

Even more bizarre: On another Gentoo system I'm running for a long time, ragel 7.0.4
and colm 0.14.7-r2 *are* correctly installed - but I've no idea any more how I achieved
this a very long time ago.

I hesitate to open a new Gentoo Bugzilla bug because it might not be a real bug -
but what do I have to do on my new system that ruby (and all dependencies) can
be installed?

Thanks in advance,

-Matt
