I had that problem when trying to compile any C++ code with the -march=i686
option
to gcc-2.95.2. It compiles fine with C (I build my 2.2.18-preX kernels with
-O4
-march=i686, and nvidia drivers with -O6 -march=i686), and C++ works fine
with
-march=i586. I think it is something related with the i686 code generation
in g++,
if you select i686 code there is some symbol output that must be present in
libstdc++, and is not there because libstdc++ is i586.

I returned to build everything in i586 conventions, because I have not
tested
seriously if the difference matters...

NOTE: g++ packagers, any help ?

Hope this gives any clue...

RE: [expert] What is LPRO?

2000-10-02 Thread Bill Piety

I've read a number of articles on that issue. Seems the consensus is that
i686 can cause problems. I thought that designation was originally made when
the pentium pros came out. But if have athlons, etc, you need to stay with
i586. Also seen that if you change the .LPR0 to LPRO or change to .glbl
.LPR0 in the code you can avoid the .LPR0 issue. Any coders following this
trail?

Re: [expert] What is LPRO?

2000-10-02 Thread Praedor Tempus

AH!  Thank you!  An answer, perhaps.

I wonder if the problem would go away if I used egcs instead of gcc?
This problem is new.  I never had these problems prior to 7.1/7.2beta.
Whatever changed to break things appears to have occured around those 
releases, more towards the 7.2beta side than the 7.1, though.

This all began when I tried to upgrade my glibc, building it myself.
Previous goes with glibc PRIOR to that in 7.2beta did not produce
a bunch of errors.  I could and did build kde without problems before.

Thanks again.  I may yet be able to avoid a reinstall of 7.0 followed
by a long and torturous process of upgrading.  I'll find out this
evening.

 Running an rpmfind search of any type fails to find anything

 fails to turn up anything useful.  Doing a google search
 doesn't help either.

 Any aid would be greatly appreciated.

Could you post the exact message? I'm only familiar with lpro as akin to a

tex.lpro generating texc.lpro) and I don't believe seen on a typical Mandrake

hmm. I'm not a coder or anything, but it seems to me like something is
not properly linked, or some library or whatever is not installed on
your system. As I said, I'm not a coder, but it looks to me like it's
some variable name that's used in the program, and which is never
initialized.

A little progress - thought you had capitalized .LPR0 for emphasis. My mistake.
Your problem probably comes from the fact that you compiled kdelibs but used
a pre-built kdebase. I'm no programmer, but .LPR0 would be found in your source
scripts. Someone who programs would be able to define it's use. Wait for further
input, but you'll probably have to go with all pre-builts or find out why your
kdebase won't build.

Re: [expert] What is LPRO?

2000-10-01 Thread marcus2

This typically sound like your shared library is not properly installed.
never heard of LPRO (is that O or zero) but if it cannot load
/usr/lib/libkdecore.so.2  then this should be fixed.  maybe check to which
package /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.2  belongs to.  (command:  rpm -qfv
/usr/lib/libkdecore.so.2) then verify if it is installed correct with
 rpm -V packagename  (e.g. rpm -V kdelibs).  You can alwasys try to
install it again by doing the command:   rpm -ivh --force packagename.
Maybe a goos idea is to check if all your dependencies of the packages are
working ok.

If this does not help I am out of suggestions for now.

 Your problem probably comes from the fact that you compiled kdelibs but used
 a pre-built kdebase. I'm no programmer, but .LPR0 would be found in your source
 scripts. Someone who programs would be able to define it's use. Wait for further
 input, but you'll probably have to go with all pre-builts or find out why your
 kdebase won't build.

The primary message I get with these failed builds is about kde not
being able
to link a program, and that I should make sure that I compile qt with
the same
compiler that I am using for trying to build kdebase.  Needless to say,
the 
compiler is identical.  I have tried recompiling and installing qt-1.44,
there
are no errors, but the result is the same for kdebase-1.1.2-61mdk and
for kdeutils.

kdelibs and kdesupport compile fine IF I first install their src rpms
and then
run "rpm -bb appropriate spec".  If I try to run "rpm --rebuild .." on
the
same src rpm, it fails with the same message about failing to link a
program,
compile qt with the same compiler, etc.  This does NOT work with
kdebase.  No
matter how I try it, it fails with that same message.

I am now looking at reinstalling 7.0 and upgrading from there again.  It
keeps
appearing to me that some small subtle problem exists on my system since
trying
to upgrade MOST of it to 7.2beta, and that it could prove almost
impossible to 
find that problem.  I cannot compile gcc either, glibc compiling
produces a HUGE
list of "invalid character 45..." messages, but does produce installable
glibc
i686 rpms.  Most other src rpms have built and installed fine.  KDE is
really 
proving to be a problem.

I considered just going ahead and trying to build and install kde-1.95
but I cannot
get qt2 to compile.  IT gives me errors that seem to indicate that it
cannot find
files that IT supplies.  

That's as it stands now.  It doesn't seem appropriate to submit a bug
report about
my kde problems because those src rpms are from Mandrake 7.1 while the
rest of
my system is, essentially, mandrake 7.2beta.
