I've been looking at this spell lately, not so much for the purpose of debugging it, but in trying to add the 'enigmail' plugin to the spell. Anyways, to do this I was looking at the gentoo script, which does have the plugin working. While looking through this, I noticed this set of code in their script:


# Currently gcc-3.1.1 dont work well if we specify "-march"
# and other optimizations for pentium4.
[ -z "${CC}" ] && CC=gcc
if [ "`${CC} -dumpversion | cut -d. -f1`" -eq "3" ] ; then
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS/pentium4/pentium3}"
export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS/pentium4/pentium3}"
fi

now, granted we are using gcc 3.2, but it may still be very much related to the problem that you are having. I personally have a p3 on my system, and I did not have any problem with optimizations.

fwiw, i could not get mozilla to compile with p4 and all optimizations,
devel grimoire, but it did compile for p4 without optimizations. ive
tested it to some extent but havent determined if any/all or optimizations
cause it to break.

also, it doesnt seem to have 'psm' installed so i cant do any fancy
shopping on half.com with it.

Yes I am on sorcery-stable. Bug?

So to recap. `cast -c -r mozilla` doesn't ask my any questions. After compiling fine (I just tried recompiling without optimizations) I type `mozilla` into the command line and get nothing, there are no errors in any log that I know about.

OK, one more (hopefully not) stupid question. Mozilla has not been
working for me lately. For one, when doing `cast -c -r mozilla` I
don't get asked whether I want to compile the mail client etc. From
there compiling goes fine, as does install. Then when I typ `mozilla`
into the commandline I get... nothing. No error messages, just a few
second pause and right back the command line. Nothing in X's log
either. Where else should I be looking for a problem?

are you using sorcery-stable? i had a similar problem with glibc. cast
-r -c glibc wouldn't ask me to choose locales. after installing
sorcery-devel (which i had to do manually, as cast sorcery-devel would
dispel sorcery-stable and leave no version of summon around...)
everything works as expected.
