Heads Up - gcc-4.5.4 makes trouble
 

Hi,

I've just been bitten by this * surprise *

After upgrading to gcc-4.5.4 (from 4.5.3)
some packages / ebuilds fail since gcc-4.5.4 doesn't include the
libffi.so.4 library.


I had to rebuild
dev-lang/perl (all versions here 2.7 3.2)
dev-libs/gobject-introspection
dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common

and I'm not sure that's enough.
Unfortunately, revdep-rebuild doesn't fix the problems.

The problem didn't occur on a system where I'm using gcc-4.6.x as
standard compiler.


Helmut.

Hi Helmut,

libffi.so.4 has nothing to do with gcc. Rebuild the libffi package and
try to rebuild these packages again.

Hi Helmut,

libffi.so.4 has nothing to do with gcc. Rebuild the libffi package and
try to rebuild these packages again.


(Just checking my backups:)
It was installed at /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/libffi.so.4
(don't ask me why)
And after upgrading to gcc-4.5.4 is has gone causing me the problems
described above.

And revdep-rebuild didn't find any problems.

Helmut.
