Attempting to configure the new gconf-2.10.1, it errors out testing for pkg-config modules, due to looking for /usr/lib64/pkg-config/, while the actual dir is /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ (no dash). I don't know where the search-path is set, in the package or in another one, so I'm not sure the bug is even with this package, altho I haven't seen others with the problem (yet). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge gconf-2.10.1 Actual Results: configure errored out due to bad pkg-config path, as above. Expected Results: An uneventful merge. emerge info to be attached.

I just tried emerging it on my machine and did not get that error
I almost forgot to post the relevant part of the output...

I should mention, as it's in my emerge.info, that I default to gcc-4.0.1. However, I tried gcc-config reverting to 3.4.4 (and yes, updating the environment) just in case that /somehow/ had something to do with it. Same exact error.

What version of pkgconfig ?
> Adding directory '/usr/lib64/pkg-config' from PKG_CONFIG_PATH AFAIK the variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not set anywhere within portage, we rely solely on the pkg-config compile time defaults at the moment. Do you have PKG_CONFIG_PATH set in your environment somewhere?
(In reply to comment #6) > > Adding directory '/usr/lib64/pkg-config' from PKG_CONFIG_PATH > > Do you have PKG_CONFIG_PATH set in your environment somewhere? Good question! Not that I've deliberately set, no, and not in my general environment, either (I checked). I wondered about that too, and looked, but no such variable in my general environment, so it's not coming from there. I there might be some sort of /etc/pkgconfig or whatever, as well, thinking that might be where it's coming from, but turned up nothing. I don't know enough about pkg-config to be able to trace all the various potential sources, but the fact that it's wrong from the command line also, eliminates some potential sources, and the fact that it's not in my general shell environment eliminates others. It's frustrating to see it saying it's pulling it out of that variable, see it's wrong as pulled out, but not be able to find where the variable's coming from! Maybe I'll have to do a grep of /usr and /etc for that string! Foser, pkg-config --version returns 0.18.1, and portage agrees.

No file in /etc (or subdirs) contains the string "/usr/lib64/pkg-config". One file in /usr contains that string, the /usr/bin/pkg-config binary itself, line 163 (not that line numbers mean much in a binary, but...). The binary contains a null, the variable, a null, the lib64 location, a colon, the /usr/share location also mentioned in the output, and another null, so this is almost certainly our culprit as that's exactly where it's searching. It's compiled into pkg-config, so I guess that makes this now a pkg-config bug, not a gconf bug.
05 Jul 2005; Leonardo Boshell <leonardop@gentoo.org> pkgconfig-0.18.1.ebuild, files/pkg-config-0.18.1-pc_path.patch: Added patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3662 to set the default search path correctly. Looks like this was fixed a while ago, though without a revision bump... (patch was added same day as the 0.18.1 bump which is why it's not affected many people) Please re-emerge pkgconfig which should fix this. Reopen if you still have problems.

I was in the process of filing a comment saying as much, when Bugzilla notified me of a collision! Thanks! (Full-closing.)
