I've run into a strange problem updating my netbook. |
2 |
I merged glib-2.28.8 successfully as part of a Revdep-Rebuild job, |
3 |
it being a dep for one of the pkgs in the R-R list. |
4 |
However after that, merging gtk+-2.24.4 librsvg-2.34.0 libglade-2.6.4 |
5 |
all failed with a libtool error : "libtool: link: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.0.la |
6 |
is not a valid libtool archive" or ditto for libgobject ; |
7 |
indeed, those files do not exist in the netbook, |
8 |
but in my already updated desktop machine, glib did create them. |
9 |
The glib merge msgs did include a recommendation to remerge dbus-glib , |
10 |
but that required dbus & that too failed with a similar libtool error ! |
11 |
I tried remerging glib , but it still didn't create the needed .la files. |
12 |
|
13 |
The only item thrown up by Google was a Gentoo forum thread |
14 |
re a different problem, but recent & suggesting gcc needed updating |
15 |
or users could run into problems with Gnome-type apps. |
16 |
I'm presently updating to gcc-4.4.5 (previously 4.4.3), |
17 |
but that will take > 3 hr in the netbook, so any advice is welcome. |
