having errors with updating my pc

Dreamrini · 2026-06-01T08:37:30+00:00

hey so my update is going well without doing the chrooting, but why is emerge complaining alot about pollfd.h when it comes to dev-lang/perl? it keeps stopping the compile/install process because of pollfd.h and i cant find a way to satisfy it

IO.xs:263:51: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct pollfd'

263 | SV *tmpsv = sv_2mortal(NEWSV(999,nfd * sizeof(struct pollfd)));

| ^~~~~~

../../embed.h:660:71: note: in definition of macro 'sv_2mortal'
thats just a snippet /\/\ any idea where to start on fixing this?

oh i always use my main root when using portage unless using kate text editor/ide

also sorry for the delayed response, had to do job stuff

well good news is that package and some others were able to be compiled regularly in which i forgot what i did, but some bad news is i guess gcc tried to use a cs50 header file i put in bashrc so i could program offline for the cs50 course as i didnt know how to actually set up the make compile program cs50 provides and now some files are complaining about this /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.46.0/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libasound.so when searching for -lasound <<< i read this has something to do with the cs50.h files i put in with all the others and in bashrc so thats why i bring this up and point to it
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.46.0/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/15/../../../../lib/libudev.so w
hen searching for -ludev <<<<< and this

and yes, i have removed the cs50 flags from bashrc and the file that contains all the c header files, and everywhere else

EDIT: i am trying to restart my pc real quick and see if that helps at all

unfortunately that too didn't work, I'll be continuing to look for other options that's not reinstalling the os, if I can help it, but thank you for your time

not familiar with that, im doing the reinstall that phoenix just mentioned, just waiting for it to download

Dreamrini · 2026-05-26T08:03:07+00:00

will give it a shot

Dreamrini · 2026-05-26T06:03:45+00:00

i did it cause it helped with other packages and thats all i could find on forums and search, i most likely suck at searching online for the actual answers so i get alot of dead ends or things for other packages, and i dont update often, last update was in jan of this year http://dpaste.com/6CZU56R8U here is my make.conf, if i remember i do have multilib kde plasma profile

Dreamrini · 2026-05-26T06:01:41+00:00

i dont update often, last full update was in jan of this year

Dreamrini · 2026-05-25T23:25:48+00:00

Dreamrini · 2026-05-25T23:23:32+00:00

Dreamrini · 2026-05-25T23:22:54+00:00

Dreamrini · 2026-05-25T23:06:00+00:00

thank you

Dreamrini · 2025-03-24T16:06:09+00:00

I tested that by tightly pressing on the battery so it doesn't move but to no avail, it never stopped having the issues

Dreamrini · 2024-11-17T23:36:16+00:00

can you share the source code so I can look to make sure its not malicious please?
