• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

When updating my mostly stable amd64 box today, avogadro 0.8.0 failed to emerge:
====
-- Looking for shmat
-- Looking for shmat - found
-- Looking for IceConnectionNumber in ICE
-- Looking for IceConnectionNumber in ICE - found
CMake Error: PkgConfig_DIR is not set.  It must be set to the directory containing PkgConfigConfig.cmake in order to use PkgConfig.
-- Configuring done

 * ERROR: sci-chemistry/avogadro-0.8.0 failed.

 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile

 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DLIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH=PROJECT_BINARY_DIR/$(get_libdir) -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=${USEPYTHON} -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=$(get_libdir) -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=$(type -p $(tc-getCC)) -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=$(type -p $(tc-getCXX)) || die "cmake failed";
 *  The die message:
 *   cmake failed

I tried re-emerging dev-util/cmake-2.4.6-r1, to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

I am also on amd64 and get the same result.

Everything works fine for me using dev-util/cmake-2.4.8.
Could you give this version a try?

Thanks,
Markus

May be I need to bump the CMake requirement if this is the case - didn't realise.

I have bumped the dependency to cmake-2.4.8. Hopefully this has resolved your issue. Please reopen if your problem persists.
