Im back trying to compile gcc-3.2, my latest attempt at building it failed due expect being broken.
expect was broken because i didnt have tcl8.3 installed which should be declared as a dependency against expect, but isnt picked up when building on the hurd. Im a bit confused as to whats going on here. As root hurd:/build/tcl8.3-8.3.3# dpkg-shlibdeps -e/bin/expect -O dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for /lib/libexpect5.37.so.1 (libexpect5.37.so.1) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libexpect5.37 (soname 1, path /lib/libexpect5.37.so.1, dependency field Depends) shlibs:Depends=libc0.3 (>= 2.2.5-13) As a normal user [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/build/expect-5.38.0/debian$ dpkg-shlibdeps -e/bin/expect -O dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for /lib/libexpect5.37.so.1 (libexpect5.37.so.1) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libexpect5.37 (soname 1, path /lib/libexpect5.37.so.1, dependency field Depends) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for /lib/libtcl8.3.so.1 (libtcl8.3.so.1) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libtcl8.3 (soname 1, path /lib/libtcl8.3.so.1, dependency field Depends) shlibs:Depends=libc0.3 (>= 2.2.5-13) Note, as a normal user libtcl8.3 gets a warning, as root it doesnt even rate a mention, i dont understand why, but i dont think its the source of this problem.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/build/expect-5.38.0/debian$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/tcl8.3.shlibs libtcl8.3 1 tcl8.3 (>= 8.3.0 The .shlibs file doesnt mention any path, so does the path (/usr/lib or /lib) really need to be considered when dpkg-shlibdeps tries to find a match ? (maybe its a dumb question) Glenn
