Bugzilla Bug 190046

emerging networkmanager-0.6.5 fails when executing ./configure and complains
(wrongly) that iproute2 was not installed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge networkmanager
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
checking for ip... no
configure: error: iproute2 was not installed.  See
http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Iproute2


Expected Results:  
configure and compile

--- CUT HERE --- networkmanager-0.6.5.ebuild ---
50c50,51
<       --enable-notification-icon"
---
>       --enable-notification-icon\
>       --with-ip=/sbin/tc"
--- CUT HERE

forcing the path to iproute2 (/sbin/tc) works.

emerge --info

(I use mildy fancy LDFLAGS but I tried recompiling both iproute2 and
networkmanager with LDFLAGS="" and got the same results + it is not a linker
error)

emerge --info

For me, sys-apps/iproute2 provides /sbin/ip - which the configure is looking
for.

What version of iproute2 do you have installed?
Does /sbin/ip exist for you? If not, please attach
/var/db/pkg/sys-apps/iproute2-*/CONTENTS here and try reinstalling the current
stable.

"ls: cannot access /sbin/ip: No such file or directory"
This is iproute2-2.6.22.20070710.

--- CUT HERE /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/iproute2-2.6.22.20070710/CONTENTS ---
dir /sbin
obj /sbin/tc da46627e9e9b3226c0fe4af9496e3f0b 1188550335

I just checked the ebuild and I had the "minimal" USE-flag on, which prevents
/sbin/ip from being installed.

My bad, sorry.

I added a built_with_use die in case someone else runs into this.
