econf fails with: checking for /var/lib/misc/pci.ids... no configure: error: cannot find pci.ids. Use --with-hwdata to specify location Reason: New pciutils have pci.ids.gz (earlier ones weren't gzipped) and thus hal doesn't find it.

By the way, the file is located at /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz on my system. /var/lib/misc is empty.
I did a zcat /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz > /var/lib/misc/pci.ids and the ebuild worked, weird behaviour.

added --with-hwdata=/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz \ at line 138 in a copy of the ebuild that i placed in portage overlay dir. Digested it along with a copy of all its patches. Then it worked.

zcat /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz > /var/lib/misc/pci.ids worked for me also ..
Above patch works for me here, too. Would be glad if it could be added to portage soon, thanks.

hal-0.5.7.1-r3 will be in the tree shortly and will fix it.

For me tha latest revision of hal-0.5.7.1-r5 configures fine and compiles fine with latest pciutils (i.e. 2.2.4-r1) I think it has something to do with having --with-hwdata pointing at the directory where pci.ids{,.gz} resides for pciutils-2.2.[2,3} on my system (/usr/share/misc) instead of having it pointing directly at the pci.ids{,.gz}. Oh, and the Changelog-note "HAL does not read gzipped pci.ids data." is totally confusing. Do you mean at compiletime or runtime?
Works for me as well, hal configures and installs fine. There was no need to force pciutils to have USE=-zlib [ebuild R ] sys-apps/pciutils-2.2.4-r2 USE="zlib" 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r5 USE="acpi crypt -debug -dmi -doc -pcmcia (-selinux)" 0 kB HAL 0.5.7.1 ============== prefix: /usr libdir: /usr/lib64 libexecdir: /usr/libexec bindir: /usr/bin sbindir: /usr/sbin datadir: /usr/share sysconfdir: /etc localstatedir: /var/lib docdir: /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.7.1-r5 dbus-1 system.d dir: /etc/dbus-1/system.d pci.ids, usb.ids dir: /usr/share/misc compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc cflags: -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -msse3 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare cppflags: Doxygen: no DocBook: no User for HAL: haldaemon Group for HAL: haldaemon hald pidfile: /var/run/hald.pid hald backend: linux2 acpi proc support: no acpi daemon support: yes use libusb (for usb-csr): yes Maintainer mode: no Building verbose mode: no Building Doxygen docs: no Building docs: no
First off, you have an old stale version laying around of pci.ids. Secondly, HAL reads the file at run time. Since it can't ungzip the file, it fails to read it. So no devices are detected properly from pci.ids.

Seems more like --with-hwdata is where to find a not gzipped pci.ids at runtime as I can confirm that HAL has "unknown" vendors and alike without a pci.ids.
(In reply to comment #15) > Works for me as well, hal configures and installs fine. > There was no need to force pciutils to have USE=-zlib I am curious of how this is possible, as hal-0.5.7.1-r5 checks to see if pciutils was built with zlib support and if it was, it forces the build process to die.
