[gentoo-user] Error emergin mkinitrd

Hi all.

I've a problem trying to emerge mkinitrd.

Everytime I try, I get:

 * ERROR: sys-apps/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 2212:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake || die "nash compile failed.";
 *  The die message:
 *   nash compile failed.

I've searched through the net, but couldn't find a solution (one suggested
to re-emerge glibc, but that didn't work).

Any idea?

Thanks,
Massimiliano

A search at bugs.gentoo.org turned up this bug report,
filed in June and solved almost a month ago:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268285

So why is package still broken?  Good question.  Why are
more people not complaining?  Dunno.  I don't use that
package and it seems that very few others do.  Just out
of curiosity, why are you trying to install mkinitrd?

Because making a initrd is a pain in the ass, and he probably doesn't want to
use genkernel.

As Jocob says, I don't use genkernel....

Do you think I should reopen the bug?

Thanks,

Hi all.

I'm trying to apply the workaround suggested in the BUG at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268285

I've changed the file accordingly, however, everytime I emerge mkinitrd, the
file (obviously) get overwritten.

I tried to search, but didn't find anything...

Is there an emerge flag to instruct emerge to compile what it finds in /var
instead of downloading it?

Thanks,
Massimiliano

To try it out once, you can do it like this:

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild unpack
change things in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild merge

The cleaner way would be to modify the ebuild and put it into your overlay 
(along with the modified mkinitrd-3.5.7-dietssp.patch), but on the other 
hand the bug might already be fixed anyway when you emerge the package the 
next time.

The bug is still open, so perhaps voting for it would help (I did).
