Hey Benny!

anyone have a patch or sulution to it ?

Upgrade to ncurses-6.5. I just tried it and it yeilds;

:read ldd fconfig
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f41eb1c4000)
libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00007f41eb074000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f41eae92000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f41eb1c6000)
:read ldd fmail
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fae7bc5b000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fae7b9f0000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fae7bc5d000)
:read ldd ftools
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fcc3e0d2000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcc3de99000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fcc3e0d4000)

From this angle it looks like only fconfig requires ncurses and in this nech of the woods that means ncurses-6.5.

Life is good,

so CMakefiles.txt does not use /usr/lib64 but only /usr/lib ?

anyone know how to solve this ?

make symlink from /lib64 to /lib ?

Hey Benny!

make symlink from /lib64 to /lib ?

In your case also make symlink from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib.

When you build glibc there is a configure parameter 'libc_cv_slibdir=/usr/lib' which if deployed will not require the symlink /usr/lib but will still require the /lib64 to /lib symlink. However since you are using gentoo's configuration you'll probably want to stick with their configurations and the two symlinks will take care of sources that look to /lib and /usr/lib.

ncurses 6.5 is hardmasked in gentoo currently

so lets solve fmail without break gentoo :)

Probably won't matter much now that you've traced it. Having said that, I prefer to stay current as possible.

It compiles fine here without any jiggery-pokery so it is in your capable hands now that you know the real issue. And yes I used the latest setup here with gcc-4.1.0/glibc-2.40 to test the compile.

/* GNU ld script
Since Gentoo has critical dynamic libraries in /lib, and the static versions
in /usr/lib, we need to have a "fake" dynamic lib in /usr/lib, otherwise we
run into linking problems. This "fake" dynamic lib is a linker script that
redirects the linker to the real lib. And yes, this works in the cross-
compiling scenario as the sysroot-ed linker will prepend the real path.

Hey Benny!

/usr/lib64/libncursesw.so is just an ascii file :)

Not here. It is a symlink to /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 which is a symlink to /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.5 on my new system and /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.4 on the systems I have yet to upgrade. I don't have a /usr/lib64 directory as everything is 64 bit. On the fidonet node this is what file has to say about it;

:read !file /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.4
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.4: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

I only tried compiling fmail on the newest glibc-2.40 based system but if this continues to be an issue I will try the same on a yet to be upgraded ncurse-6.4/glibc-2.39 box which there are currently 3 of here. They are all x86_64.

Are you using Gentoo stable? There is no reason for ncurses to be hardmasked at this point. Looks like Archlinux is already on the 3rd iteration of ncurses 6.5:

Packages (1) ncurses-6.5-3

so lets solve fmail without break gentoo :)

It's hard to believe FMail (FConfig, specifically) needs ncurses 6.5, since Wilfred was compiling it long before that was out.

You could always just unmask ncurses 6.5. :)

Nick

Hey Nicholas!

It's hard to believe FMail (FConfig, specifically) needs ncurses
6.5

It doesn't. It is a path issue on Benny's system as fmail is looking to lib instead of lib64. I tested the git source on a gcc-13.2.0/glibc-2.39 system (pure 64 bit) and it has no issue with ncurses-6.4. I don't have a lib64 since everthing is 64 bit installed to lib. No 32 bit systems to bother with a multilib installation which simplifies everything worthwhile.

I see. So it seems to be Gentoo specific, then. I run multilib here also, and here are the contents of my root directory in regards to /lib:

lib -> usr/lib
lib64 -> usr/lib

So yes, making symlinks was a great suggestion, since other distributions already seem to be doing that. :)

Nick

Hey Nicholas!

Could be. From what I read it sounds like Gentoo made it more complicated than it needed to be.

making symlinks was a great suggestion, since other distributions
already seem to be doing that.

I wouldn;t bet the farm on it. I am hesitant to guess how critical this is to someone's python based package manager. :::shudder::: As Yosimite Sam says, "I hates pythons." :-)
