[gentoo-user] glib-2.20.5 failed

[gentoo-user] glib-2.20.5 failed

[Vincent De Groote]

Hello,

I follow the Installation guide of gentoo.  I'm in step

9. Installing Necessary System Tools / 9.a. System Logger


When I emerge syslog-ng, it installs glib-2.20.5 and fails with the
following error:

ebuild.sh, line 49: called src_test
environment, line 2867: called die

die message = "test failed"

The last lines in the log files are:

do_copy_move: 'pattern_file' --> 'not_exists'
  res = 0, error code = 1 = Error opening file
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.20.5/work/glib-2.20.5/gio/tests/testdir_live-g-file/not_exists/pattern_file':
No such file

Does anybody know what should I do ?

Thanks for your responses

Skip this step and complete the installation.

Once you have done so, `emerge -u world` to update to the latest  
version of Gentoo packages, then try emerging syslog-ng.

I don't guarantee that this will solve the problem, but it does no  
harm to be missing the logger for a while, and once the system is  
installed you can do other things whilst  you work through the problem  
(and the lack of the logger does not delay you so inconveniently).

What LiveCD are you using?

Stroller.

I'm using the last I found:

install-x86-minimal-20090915.iso

I was not able to reproduce this but you may be able to get around it by
removing "test" from your FEATURES list.

The first thing I *always* do when installing a fresh Gentoo system and
hitting a bug:

1) Google and look at the first page

2) Put the failed package version in /etc/portage/package.mask and try to
build it again (or look at gentoo-portage.com on another PC and emerge the
specific version if you don't want to remember to clean out package.mask
later).  Maybe this sound strange to some people, but it fixes around half
of all problems I've had I think, so I'd almost put it before Googling the
error during an install.

In any case, it shouldn't hurt you to try, anyway.
