libwww troubles

(tags: )

As I told you yesterday, I've troubles with my gentoo box. Because of some incompatibilities between php5 and xoops, I wanted to roll back to php4. Emerge failed (don't know why anymore, I think it was mysqlclient or something like that), but on Gentoo Forums, they suggest a revdep-rebuild. One of those packages to rebuild was libwww. That one didn't rebuild, and again on Gentoo Forums they suggested to unmerge and re-emerge it, so I did, but only the first part of it succeeded: unmerging. Emerging gives output like this:

emerge libwww

QA Notice: USE Flag 'macos' not in IUSE for net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r2
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'.
/usr/portage/net-libs/libwww/libwww-5.4.0-r2.ebuild: line 45: aclocal: command not found
!!! ERROR: net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_unpack, Line 45, Exitcode 127
!!! aclocal failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

So it seems aclocal can't be found. A lookup pointed that I have aclocal 1.5, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9. I tried to create a symlink named "aclocal" to aclocal-1.9. This results in lots of warnings when emerging libwww, but it compiles. The big problem is, since then, I have crashes (segfaults) of firefox and thunderbird when I'm viewing some sites (like The Register). I created a new symlink to aclocal-1.5, wich made libwww emerging with lots less warnings, but the crashes remain. I searched around in bugzilla and forums but no solution. I'll create a new bugreport, let's hope somethings comes out of it. I'll keep you on touch!

Lennert was a great hulp, now I'm a few steps closer to the solution. I re-emerged automake-wrapper-1, wich made the correct symlink in /usr/bin/aclocal to a wrapper. Now I recieved the message that aclocal-1.4 is needed, so I emerged automake-1.4_p6. Libwww installes, still with lots of aclocal warnings, but it compiles. Firefox and Thunderbird still crash when viewing theregister.com. Let's hope for some good reactions on the bugreport.

Humm, I just re-emerged libwww (because I had to re-emerge mysql) and no aclocal-errors at all. Strange stuff. I hope the crashes in firefox/thunderbird also stop.

No luck, the crashes remain :-(

Thanks a lot for the tip, I have exactly the same problem and I made the link to aclocal-1.9 and it worked. I'll post another comment if I can get it to work, or have no problem with firefox/thunderbird. We'll see.
