Hi list, I am hoping someone can tell me what may have caused a bizarre build failure of "mclibs" source package on ia64 (machine "caballero") -- build log is here: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=mclibs&ver=2006.dfsg.2-3&arch=ia64 Last few relevant lines of the build log are: > g77 strh1b.F > Assembler messages: > Fatal error: can't create shared/strh1b.o: No such file or directory > Failing command: g77 -g -c -O2 -funroll-loops -fPIC -fno-automatic -fno-second-underscore -fugly-complex -I/build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/build/mclibs/pdf -I/build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/src/mclibs/pdf -I/build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/src/mclibs/pdf/spdf -I/build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/src/include -DCERNLIB_LINUX -DCERNLIB_UNIX -DCERNLIB_LNX -DCERNLIB_QMGLIBC -DCERNLIB_QMLXIA64 -DCERNLIB_DEBIAN -DDEBIAN_VERSION=\"2006.dfsg.2-3\" -o shared/strh1b.o /build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/src/mclibs/pdf/spdf/strh1b.F > make[5]: *** [shared/strh1b.o] Error 1 > make[5]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/mclibs-2006.dfsg.2/build/mclibs/pdf/spdf' > make[4]: *** [spdf/shared/objects.list] Error 2 I can only think of two possible reasons why the assembler might have given the above error: 1) caballero ran out of disk space on the build partition? This problem never happened before with this package, though. 2) caballero runs its builds using parallel invocations of "make". Is this the case? If this is so, there is some small possibility of a race condition in the mclibs build script that could cause the build tree to be deleted out from under the building process. If case (2) is true, can someone tell me how to force a buildd NOT to use parallel make? I don't think that Cernlib-related packages can necessarily be built (even aside from this possible issue) with make -j2. If neither (1) nor (2) are the case, what on earth happened? Please CC me in replies as I'm not subscribed. best regards, -- Kevin B.
