Bugzilla Bug 72426

Currently, with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4's move of the libraries, libcaca does not
find
the proper libraries. Basically the same issue as 69400 which was for 
libxklavier instead. So far though, these are the only two packages i've 
come across that have this problem:

checking for X... libraries , headers /usr/X11R6/include
checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no
checking X11/XKBlib.h usability... yes
checking X11/XKBlib.h presence... yes
checking for X11/XKBlib.h... yes
configure: error: cannot find X11 development files

!!! ERROR: media-libs/libcaca-0.9-r1 failed.



Adding *either* of the following to the econf call makes it work:
-x-libraries=/usr/lib \

-x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib \

however it's autodetection doesn't do so well.

Wanna attach config.log?

config.log

same thing happens on multiple machines here, each with xorg 6.8.0-r4

Try making a patch like the one in comment #4 on bug #72124.

You can clearly see what happens here:

configure:21036: checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11
configure:21066: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -march=athlon-tbird -funit-at-a-time -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3  -DOPTIMISE_SLANG_PALETTE=1  conftest.c -lX11 -lXt -L  >&5
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: argument to `-L' is missing

It assumes that a -L/path/to/X/stuff will be required, so when it finds X in /usr/lib, it gets confused and just does -L.

I can confirm this error. By the way: Why do I need libcaca all of a sudden?
Since I dif emerge sync this day it seems to be required.

  03 Jan 2005; Chris White <chriswhite@gentoo.org> xine-lib-1.0.ebuild:
  Quick fix. Removed libcaca USE flag but forgot to remove the conditional dep
  as it appears xine-lib doesn't play nice if you don't have it.

This has been fixed according to the duplicate Bug 76517.

Scott, can you confirm?

I'll say that it works for me, now, and it did not work before.

same problem with xorg-x11-6.8.1.901

Worked for me now too, but didn't before. ~x86

works here now too

Ok then, closing this jolly ole bug :P.

0.9-r1 does not work for me with xorg-x111-6.8.0-r3.
Will attach config.log.

Am I the only one still having this problem?

Thank's Chris. It works now.
Nit: a short notice would have been helpful though..
