If it was a temporary fluke there may be a new or updated ebuild to fix it. And just because the emerge fails doesn't mean the fallback position is to attempt to use the ebuild command itself. A failure of the emerge step usually indicates something else is wrong, not necessarily the current package. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Being a newbie, I assumed it was better to use ebuild since there are pre and post install function to be run and then updating the list of packages installed on the system say i wanna run qpkg -l cyrus-sasl .. etc instead of just doing make install and then search for where the files went. If I am going about doing something round about way, please suggest alternative. regards karan __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Yeah, but why are you trying to use ebuild to install the package in the first place? Did emerge choke on it? Do you need custom configure script options? Having that background will help to figure out how to complete the task it seems you're trying to do... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, Well I took the same options ebuild uses when it ran ./configure, i used the same options again. Hence I believe the use flags might be retained. I wouldn't know until it is installed. A wild swing and try. I just want to get over the compile error so that I can compile openldap which has a dependency on this package.

I think if you interpreted the message as "either 'make distclean' or 'rm config.cache'" and only did the rm step, that was your downfall. If you need to build it manually yet want the ebuild to manage it, I would probably try it in a couple of steps: 1. ebuild [...]/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20.ebuild unpack 2. Go to the work directory and ./configure with your specific options 3. ebuild [...]/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20.ebuild install Although I really can't understand why you would want to try to have portage manage a package that you're compiling yourself. The next time a release is available and you emerge -uD world it would be replaced with one compiled without your specific flags. If you want to manage sasl on your own (and I can understand why as I manage some packages outside of portage), just bite the bullet and do it; don't involve portage because it may come back to haunt you later on. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
