The ocaml ebuild currently requires tk. However, the "tk" functionality of ocaml is optional. I recommend that tk be conditional on either the "tcltk" use var, since I *do* want to use ocaml, but *do not* want tk (and therefore Xfree) installed. I have the "tcltk" use var "turned off", but the ocaml ebuild does not (currently) respect this. Removing the tk dependancy or making it conditional on the USE var resolves this issue.
Hi Tim thanks for pointing this out! I made the tk dependency optional, depending on tcltk flag presence. I created a new revision (ocaml-3.04-r2.ebuild) and masked it (so that old package remains in the tree and I can give new one some testing). Please unmask and test test. I will apply the changes to the original ebuild and remove the -r2 version (no need to force everybody rebuild perfectly working package). Thanks! George
This all and more is taken care of in new version, bug#5786 Closing this one. George *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5786 ***
