[gobolinux-users] Gettext Error: symbol `fstatat64' is already defined, solved.

[Paul Bonser]

I just did a fresh install of 014.01 (not over the top of an old
installation like I tried to do earlier), and I was running Freshen to
get everything up to date.

When running Freshen (3.0.2), the Gettext compile was failing with

> Error: symbol `fstatat64' is already defined
> Error: symbol `fstat64' is already defined
> Error: symbol `lstat64' is already defined
> Error: symbol `stat64' is already defined

sudo Freshen -C Glibc
[  ] Program                             Installed
[ R] Gettext 0.17-r1                 0.16.1-r1
[ R] Autoconf 2.62-r2              2.61-r1
[ R] Glibc 2.8-r1                       2.5-r3
3 recipes, 0 binary recipes, 0 packages, 3 total

I compiled Glibc first, and then Gettext compiled fine.

I'm not sure if there's any way we can fix this for other people
(making Gettext have a dependency for a more recent version of Glibc,
but then Glibc depends on Gettext, so that'd be a circular dependency,
right?), but I figured I'd at least document it here so others could
find it if they had the same problem.
