Bugzilla Bug 177731

with the firefox (and presumably seamonkey, but I haven't tested this) USE flag
enabled, openoffice requires at least nspr-4.6.6, but the ebuild only depends
on >=dev-libs/nspr-4.6.2.

openoffice config:
checking which Mozilla flavour to use... Firefox
checking for firefox-xpcom ... Package 'NSPR' requires 'nspr >= 4.6.6' but
version of NSPR is 4.6.5
configure: error: Library requirements (firefox-xpcom ) not met; consider
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

It is openoffice which fails, that makes it an openoffice issue.

no. have a look at firefox *.pc files. then check its ebuild. ;)

could you elaborate, please, so the rest of us don't have to go looking for
what you're talking about?

The problem here is, that the firefox-xpcom.pc lists nspr-4.6.6 as a dependency
NOT OOo, so basically this should be fixed in Firefox. Raising the dependency
here is wrong on our side, as this is not necessary for older Firefox versions

Reassigning to Mozilla herd for input / comment

What?

Name: XPCOM
Description: The Mozilla Cross Platform Component Library
Version: 2.0.0.3
Requires: firefox-nspr >= 4.6.5

That's what my firefox-xpcom.pc file says.

Note that openoffice-2.2.1 has the exact same issue.  If the firefox USE flag
is set, then the the ebuild fails at configure.

I've raised the dependency for openoffice-2.3.0 now, so closing.
