I’m back to building a Gentoo box after my previous
Gentoo box died a hardware death about six months ago. It’s mostly installed
and functioning but I wanted to bring up KDE, I was surprised to find that the kde-meta
emerge, failed 43 packages into the 300 or so that is kde-meta.
*
It dies on building mDNSResponder, below is the error, if
anybody is interested. It seems to be the same bug reported in Nov 2007: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196349
I don’t see any resolution posted for this bug, so it appears that mDNSResponder
is currently broken, and it doesen’t appear that anybody IS terribly
interested.
*
I’m not sure what USE flag I have included that
brings in mDNSResponder, after reading the package summary, I thought it might
be “zeroconf,” but after adding “-zeroconf” to /etc/make.conf,
“emerge –pn kde-meta” or “emerge –pn kde”
still shows that mDNSResponder is going to be merged. I’ve tried adding “net-misc/mDNSResponder
~x86” to package keywords in hopes of getting a later version, but it
appears there isn’t a later version.
*
So here I am, asking for any kind of solution anybody can
provide, since it doesn’t look like mDNSResponder is going to be fixed
anytime soon I guess the preferred method is to remove whatever USE flag(s) are
bringing it in if that’s possible, but I don’t know how to
determine that information and would be grateful for some assistance.
