[gentoo-user] Major problems with libpcre / UTF8

[gentoo-user] Major problems with libpcre / UTF8

[Walter Dnes]

  I just finished solving my babl problems, but more stuff shows up in
libpcre.  First, here are my USE flags.  I don't see "utf8" anywhere.

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] dev-libs/libpcre-8.45-r1:3::gentoo  USE="bzip2 cxx jit readline (split-usr) (unicode) zlib -libedit -pcre16 -pcre32 -static-libs" 0 KiB

  Can someone give me their output from "emerge -pv1 dev-libs/libpcre"

mc (Midnight Commander) spews out a lot of...

(mc:5796): GLib-CRITICAL **: 15:19:15.617: PCRE library is compiled without UTF8 support

  Application windows have every second character missing in the window
title; e.g. "xterm" shows as "xem".  I have a spreasheet that tracks my
Presto card usage.  The title has gone from "presto.gnumeric-Gnumeric" to
"pet.nmrc-Guei'.  Various PCRE-based searches fail in vaious apps.  HELP!

  BTW, here's what I get when opening a complex spreadsheet in

Re: [gentoo-user] Major problems with libpcre / UTF8

[Mike Civil]

Not sure what your problem is but it looks like Glib is complaining, not 
mc. Having unicode in your flags would seem to infer UTF-8 support but 
I'm no expert.

There's an assumption that you've already run an emerge --sync, emerge 
--update @world and a depclean and that you don't have any unusual 
entries in package.mask, package.accept_keywords, or friends. Also that 
you don't have any overlays that could be muddying the waters.

Then I'd try the following and check your pcre and glib libraries are 
consistent.

# ldd /usr/bin/mc|egrep "glib|pcre"
         libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 
(0x00007f6672c58000)
         libpcre2-8.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007f66728c7000)

# ls -l /usr/lib64/{libpcre2-8*,libglib-2*}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Dec 14 13:49 /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so -> 
libglib-2.0.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      23 Dec 14 13:49 /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0

glib switched to libpcre2 recently, so that's the wrong package.

I don't seem to get these messages with mc unless I disable unicode
(which is normally enabled by default in profiles).

[ebuild   R    ] dev-libs/libpcre2-10.42:0/3::gentoo  USE="jit pcre16 readline (split-usr) unicode zlib -bzip2 -libedit -pcre32 -static-libs -verify-sig" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 0 KiB

Re: [gentoo-user] Major problems with libpcre / UTF8

[Walter Dnes]

  Thanks everybody.  I had "-unicode" in my USE flags all these years.
"emerge --changed-use --deep --update @world" has 11 ebuilds scheduled.
and is running OK.  Again, I apologize for a possible duplicate post or
bounces as the mail host I use was down yestersday.

  A few minutes later... everything rebuilt with "+unicode" in make.conf
I have 'unicode="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf.  No improvements in my system.
"xterm" still hows as "xem".  How does "emerge -e @world" sound?  That's
615 packages.

Have you sorted out your locale to include UTF-8?

  My /etc/locale.gen has been...

en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Are you missing a hyphen in "C.UTF8"?

  Yes.  I fixed that and ran locale-gen then re-booted; no difference.
I'll dig a bit deeper.
