1 I've pared down my system to a minimal state.
2
3 emerge --depclean returns no actions needed, but I think it may have
4 gotten a litte too exuberant.
5
6 revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild python but the emerge fails here:
7
8 >>> Source unpacked.
9 >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4/work/Python-2.5.1 .
10 ..
11 * econf failed
12 [...]
13 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1-
14 r4/temp/environment'.
15 *
16
17 [...]
18
19 * ERROR: dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4 failed.
20 * Call stack:
21
22
23 * ebuild.sh, line 46: Called src_compile
24 * environment, line 3304: Called econf 'src_compile' 'src_compile' '--w
25 ith-fpectl' '--enable-shared' '--disable-ipv6' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' '--ma
26 ndir=${prefix}/share/man' '--with-libc='
27 * ebuild.sh, line 507: Called die
28 * The specific snippet of code:
29 * die "econf failed"
30 * The die message:
31 * econf failed
32
33 I'm not finding this line `ebuild.sh 507' or even the file anywhere in
34 the build area or elsewhere for that matter.
35
36 Not able to devine any clues from:
37 /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r4/temp/environment
38 either.
39
40 Its not at all clear where the * Call stack leads. At least not to
41 me. But apparently it has something to do with src_compile in the
42 ebuild.
43
44 Anyone recognize this kind of error?
