[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild and gcj

[John Blinka]

I maintain an up-to-date system that requires gcj.   For some time, running
revdep-rebuild -p generates this output:


~--> revdep-rebuild -p
Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild

Checking reverse dependencies...

Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3 
Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run 
revdep-rebuild.


But re-emerging gcc doesn't solve the dependency problem.  In fact, both 
libgcjawt.la and
libgij.la appear to be installed by "emerge gcc".  gcj.la and 
lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la
both appear on my system, and both appear to be installed by "emerge 
gcc".  However,
both are located in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1, not in /usr/lib.

Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to fix my system?  (Other 
than put in
soft links to the needed libraries.)

It's an ancient bug that still isn't fixed. You can either edit the .la files 
or create symlinks.

So, how does one edit a .la file?

By using the texteditor of one's choice.

Sheeesh....   I've never looked at the innards of a .la file - assumed
that, since they were located in .../lib directories, they contained
mysterious binary information which couldn't be manipulated
with an ordinary text editor.  Now that I've looked, I'm
embarrassed!  Well, thanks for teaching me something.

Guess what? I did the same thing two months ago :-) After years of 
working with the stuff I'd never ever had reason to look inside a .la 
and it was only when I hovered over one in Konqueror I saw it was plain 
text

Go figure!

One thing I *LOVE* doing: run file in each directory, cut the output, sort, uniq it, and see what
kind of files I have there. I've discovered that file recognizes many weird formats :P
