[gentoo-user] emerge virtual/emacs fails

2008-04-28 Thread Roger Mason
Hello,

Has anyone else run into this:

emerge virtual/emacs

[snip]

>>> Unpacking m4-1.4.11.tar.lzma to /var/tmp/portage/m4-1.4.11/work
unpack m4-1.4.11.tar.lzma: file format not recognized. Ignoring.
>>> Source unpacked.
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/m4-1.4.11 ...

!!! ERROR: sys-devel/m4-1.4.11 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1546:   Called dyn_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 937:   Called src_compile
  m4-1.4.11.ebuild, line 23:   Called econf '--enable-nls'
  '--enable-changeword'
  ebuild.sh, line 543:   Called die

!!! no configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call
!!! stack if relevant.

I looked on bugzilla, where it was suggested to run:

emerge -1 app-arch/lzma-utils

I did that but the error on m4 persists.

If anyone has a workaround, please pass it on.

Thanks,
Roger

First try to do

rm -rv /var/tmp/portage/*


and emerge it again.

Thanks Justin,  unfortunately that did not work: I have exactly the
same error.

Cheers,

Something is wrong with your portage PATHs, because it wants to unpack 
to /var/tmp/portage/m4-1.4.11/work and not to 
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/m4-1.4.11/work! (noticed the sys-devel!?)


Check your make.conf, the output of emerge --info and the output of 
printenv if there are some settings going wrong.

You've got to update portage first, looks like you have an older portage
version, that cannot handle lzma. Had the same prob and updating portage was
the fix (besides installing lzma-utils).
 emerge -a1 portage

That was it.

Thanks very much.
