[gentoo-user] glibc emerge error

[Corbin Bird]

Is anyone else having a sys-libs/glibc emerge compile failure?

sys-libs/glibc-2.25-r9 was set to masked / prompting this upgrade /
re-compile:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-libs/glibc

Same error regardless of the version of glibc I attempt to emerge.

Sure - this error always comes up here, too. Just enter

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

immediately before emerge, and it works.

PS: And if you get some message concerning some variables which
    are too big (or something like that), enter
      mount -t tmpfs none /var/tmp/portage
    just before emerge (and "umount /var/tmp/portage" afterwards).
    I have to do this for the emerge of a few packages - I think
    it's because of my 17 TB filesystem.

Why are you setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH system-wide to begin with? Don't do 
that.

Thanks, that fixed it.

Unfortunately, I had to ( and didn't realize the implications. )
In .bashrc :
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Required by the Vulkan Loader ( Mesa && Chromium ).

I think this is what the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory is there for. Have 
you tried something like this instead:

   echo "$VULKAN_SDK/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vulkan-loader.conf
   env-update

This is wrong, because it will put the current directory (as represented
by the empty string) into the list even if it wasn't there originally.

Try something like this (untested):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"}

see man bash, "Parameter expansion".

Will try this method and see what happens.

Checked a file already there. In the "05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf"
there were no $PATH variables.
Put explicit paths in instead.

This will be interesting.

Yes, you do add explicit paths in it. This:

   echo "$VULKAN_SDK/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vulkan-loader.conf

will write an explicit path (the variable is expanded by the shell.)

Found out what was giving me an extra slash in the output "...x86_64//lib"
The $VULKAN_SDK PATH had a slash at the end.

Works now. Thank you.
