If you recently tried to emerge the latest Firefox in Gentoo (firefox 58.0/58.0.1) and you ended up with a compilation error of this kind:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 142-144: ordinal not in range(128)
35:47.22 0 compiler warnings present.
35:47.31 Exception when writing resource usage file: u'compile'
35:47.32 We know it took a while, but your build finally finished successfully!
To view resource usage of the build, run |mach resource-usage|.
Error running mach:
['build', '-v']
The error occurred in code that was called by the mach command. This is either
a bug in the called code itself or in the way that mach is calling it.
You should consider filing a bug for this issue.
If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.
The details of the failure are as follows:
KeyError: u'compile'
The thing is that the build reports successful completion as you can see below from the report, but the emerge process is terminated with error, so in this situation, when the build process is finished successfully we can manually install the package with:
[root@local ]# cd /usr/portage/www-client/firefox [root@local firefox]# ebuild firefox-58.0.1.ebuild install && ebuild firefox-58.0.1.ebuild qmerge
