[gentoo-user] Failed to emerge dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4

[gentoo-user] Failed to emerge dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4

[Moritz Schlarb]

Hi at all!

For using Google App Engine, I wanted to emerge Python 2.5, so I did
emerge -av =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4
and everything went fine, until:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pyconfig.h
/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4/image//usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig.h
emake failed
 * ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4 failed (install phase):
 *   emake altinstall maninstall failed
 *
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  56:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 5753:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake DESTDIR="${D}" altinstall maninstall || die "emake
altinstall maninstall failed";

Doesn't make much sense to me, failing at installing to
python2.5-specific directories... I would investigate further, but I
don't know how to make portage tell me more about the error that occured!
But I'm eager to learn, would be great if someone could tell me where to
look for debugging infos.

I've uploaded:
complete build log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t47wn56vtynlh3y/build.log
ebuild environment file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1zdtxzewuc0745/environment
emerge --info =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ran13tlk32p8f0/info
emerge -pqv =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rscag1azv3j5dwn/pqv

Looking forward to some instructions...
Regards,
Moritz

Look at yout build.log, line 942, a libpython2.5.so.1.0 cannot be found.
I don't know why, and I have no time to look further right now. I'd try
again with MAKEOPTS=-j1 in case something was executed out of order and in
parallel, but that's just a tip, no idea if this might help. Look
in /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r4/image/ and check if this
library exists, and maybe try to do by hand what failed in the build log.

Sorry, my time is up,

Hey Wonko,
thanks for your answer...

I played around and found that there's a place in the Makefile, where
various PATHs are set, but not LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so I set it myself, and
continues by hand and it worked....
I already wanted to file a bug, so I ran emerge again to get the build
logs again, but then emerge ran fine...

So... Nevermind! ;)
