[gentoo-user] mDNSResponder fails to compile

[Bob Young]

I'm back to building a Gentoo box after my previous Gentoo box died a
hardware death about six months ago. It's mostly installed and functioning
but I wanted to bring up KDE, I was surprised to find that the kde-meta
emerge, failed 43 packages into the 300 or so that is kde-meta. 

 

It dies on building mDNSResponder, below is the error, if anybody is
interested. It seems to be the same bug reported in Nov 2007:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196349 I don't see any resolution
posted for this bug, so it appears that mDNSResponder is currently broken,
and it doesen't appear that anybody IS terribly interested. 

 

I'm not sure what USE flag I have included that brings in mDNSResponder,
after reading the package summary, I thought it might be "zeroconf," but
after adding "-zeroconf" to /etc/make.conf, "emerge -pn kde-meta" or "emerge
-pn kde" still shows that mDNSResponder is going to be merged. I've tried
adding "net-misc/mDNSResponder ~x86" to package keywords in hopes of getting
a later version, but it appears there isn't a later version.

 

So here I am, asking for any kind of solution anybody can provide, since it
doesn't look like mDNSResponder is going to be fixed anytime soon I guess
the preferred method is to remove whatever USE flag(s) are bringing it in if
that's possible, but I don't know how to determine that information and
would be grateful for some assistance.

 

Thanks,
