Description:   Opened: 2007-05-09 18:53 0000 
The statistical language dev-lang/R has a number of add-on modules (see CRAN at
http://cran.r-project.org/). One of these modules called GDD allows users to
create graphics on a headless server (i.e. without starting and X device to
display graphics, but requires media-libs/gd to compile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge dev-lang/R                # Emerge R
2. # R                                # Start R
3. > install.packages("GDD")          # Install the GDD package, select an 
                                      # appropriate mirror



Actual Results:  
config of GDD fails as gdlib-config can't be found.

Expected Results:  
Should compile and install.

Emerge media-libs/gd and then repeat steps 1-3 above and the GDD package
installs.  This is with R-2.5.0 .

I realise its tricky to resolve this because GDD is outside of portage, but
perhaps an apporiate USE flag could be available?

Hi Neil,

Thanks for making us aware of this. I will have a look at it.

Best,

Hi Neil,

I just added the "gd" useflag to the R-2.5.0 ebuild
and the GDD module installs fine now.

Thanks,
Markus
