[gentoo-user] Not able to install ksh93

[gentoo-user] Not able to install ksh93

[Harry Putnam]

I've been running ksh93 on this newish install of gentoo for a couple
of months and have done several full emerge -vuD world successfully.

But 2 days ago, attempting a full update (emerge -vuD world) I find
ksh93 package fails... My unsophisticated look at the output which is
posted in full here ( zeus.jtan.com/~reader/vutxt/disp.cgi ) seems to
indicate that the package tries to install `nmake', but fails.  Then
continues on with piles of output ending finally with a failure,
(unsurprisingly) to find `nmake'. (That snippet of output is inlined at
the end).

I didn't have sense enough to capture the initial output that started
this but moved right into what I thought might be a solution
... unmerging ksh, then installing an older version. (Thinking the
error was being caused by something new in the latest ksh)

It still seems that something new or different must have happened
since ksh was installed and running befor the update.

So the output included here is from an attempt to install an older
version (ksh-93.20110208). (again, full output is available here:
zeus.jtan.com/~reader/vutxt/disp.cgi)

Hopefully someone here will recognize what is happening and some idea
what I should do about it.

Sorry, but I'm not going to troubleshoot a 5 year old version. Please
post build logs from the latest version of ksh in the tree. Preferably
attached to a bug report.

Please attach full build logs of current version. Linking to remote sites means several of us won't even bother to look.

OK, probably not with a bug report just yet.  I suspect it may be some
of own foolishness at work.  Sooner wait until I get some input.

Ok, mistakenly thought I was doing the right thing by NOT posting the
massive ouput on the group.

Currently waiting out an update of world with ksh removed from world
file.

Once thats completed I will try building the latest version and post
accourdingly.

You *are* doing the right thing. The ebuild logs are supposed to be
uploaded to bugzilla.

The a look at <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587730> and see
if it is the same as the symptoms you are seeing.

I don't see a segmentation fault but I don't know how to recognize
that in the massive output.  However, it appears, like one of the
fellows on the bug report discussion says; the process fails to
install nmake. (Which seems like that should curtail the install but
doesn't).  The process tries to carry on without nmake and finally
many lines later fails because of not being able to find nmake.

So sound very similar but I'm not sure about a seg-fault.

You don't need to mess with @world if a failing package is preventing an
update. If --keep-going doesn't deal with it, --exclude ksh will.

Run a grep on the ebuild log searching for "program as", since the
segfault occurs in the assembler.
