Description Douglas Pollock 2003-02-02 08:33:20 UTC
ctags (5.2.3) installs itself as exuberant-ctags, while kdevelop is looking for ctags.  Doesn't find 
it during initial "setup wizard" stuff.  A soft link is "/usr/bin" from "/usr/bin/exuberant-ctags" to 
"ctags" seems to work well.

please look into bug #8113, this is probably a duplicate of #8113. 
Comment 2 Douglas Pollock 2003-02-02 17:19:05 UTC
It looks related, but they seem to be having a debate as to how to build 
dependencies for kdevelop.  (In fact, it looks like ctags may have been added in 
response to that bug?)  But, I'm not having problems with that at all.  I like the 
ctags dependency just fine, but someone hasn't made a link for it in the "/usr/bin" 
directory: 
 
doug@dragon doug $ man exuberant-ctags 
CTAGS(1)                                                              CTAGS(1) 
 
 
 
NAME 
       ctags - Generate tag files for source code 
 
 
 
SYNOPSIS 
       ctags [options] [file(s)] 
 
       etags [options] [file(s)] 
 
 
 
It should be a simple fix.  One line in the ebuild.  I don't ask too much....  ;) 
Comment 3 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-02 19:22:40 UTC
ok, let me quote ctags ebuild: 
    # namepace collision with X/Emacs-provided /usr/bin/ctags -- we 
    # rename ctags to exuberant-ctags (Mandrake does this also). 
 
maybe we should patch kdevelop to have support for ctags named exuberant-ctags? 
 
mkennedy: since you committed ctags-5.2.3 ebuild, maybe you can help here? 
Comment 4 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-04 13:42:29 UTC
his is fixed in kdevelop-2.1.5.ebuild (and i'll fix it in 3.x ebuilds soon) 
Comment 5 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-04 13:42:48 UTC
this is fixed in kdevelop-2.1.5.ebuild (and i'll fix it in 3.x ebuilds soon) 
Comment 6 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-16 14:19:30 UTC
marking as duplicate of the initial bug, this is fixed in kdevelop-2.1.5 
(and has to be fixed in kdevelop-3.x). 
 
Thanks for reporting.
