I'm installing xforms (as a dependency for pcmcia-cs) and it fails with the following error: config.status: creating lib/config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: warnings C Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc C Compiler flags: -Os -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -funit-at-a-time -Wall Linker flags: **** The following problems have been detected by configure. **** Please check the messages below before running 'make'. **** (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) ** Cannot find libjpeg. Please check that the jpeg library is correctly installed on your system. It continues to compile ok but after a few minutes dies out with many compile errors about undefined jpeg functions. If I install media-libs/jpeg, then xforms compiles and installs correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge xforms 3.
