[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade: openldap/perl error...

[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade: openldap/perl error...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my gcc, but failed while doing
"emerge -eav world" with this error-message:
========================================================
!!! ERROR: net-nds/openldap-2.3.24-r1 failed.
Call stack:
   ebuild.sh, line 1555:   Called dyn_setup
   ebuild.sh, line 668:   Called pkg_setup
   openldap-2.3.24-r1.ebuild, line 152:   Called die

!!! You must have a complete (USE='-minimal') Perl install
     to use the perl backend!
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error,
     and the call stack if relevant.
========================================================

How can I fix it? I have neither perl, nor openldap
in my world file, they are probably dependencies of
some other packages (I do not know which)...

Do this.

The actual error is some lines above in the actual configuration
output.  *NOT* the line that starts with !!! ERRROR.  We need to see
the actual error if we are going to have any chance of helping.

I would like to send it, but this is *everything* that
was in log-file. Nothing more. So where can I find those
"lines above"?

Probably in the output of the build.  So you'll have to try building it again.

Which logfile? One in $PORT_LOGDIR should contain the full compiler
output.

This is everything I was able to find in $PORT_LOGDIR or screen:

There is really nothing more about this error in logs
anywhere...

Does it mean I must add: dev-lang/perl -minimal
in /etc/portage/package.use ?
Or sys-devel/libperl? Or some other perl-module?
But how is it possible that up to now everything was OK,
just when I upgraded gcc, suddenly I must change use-flags?

BTW, is it somehow possible just continue with that
"emerge -eav world"? 149 of 206 packages have been
already emerged, I do not want to wait 5 hours again...

Thank your for your help. I have put "dev-lang/perl -minimal"
in my package.use, and doing "emerge -eav" again...

Concerning your opinion about minimal-flag:
I do have "minimal" and "-*" in global USE flags and I think
it is a good idea. Something that belongs to "gentoo spirit":
to start with minimum, and slowly add only functions which
I really want and need (something similar are good firewall
rules: start with everything denied, and open only what
you really need)...

Of course, sometimes one can hit the wall when the things
do not work as expected (like when I emerged mysql with
minimal flag, and it was not server, only client).

But this disadvantage is definitely worth having clean
and compact system, and that is what I like on gentoo.
After all, there are experienced users on list, who can
always help... :-)
