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? jakub@gentoo.org 2007-05-09 19:13:08 0000 *** Bug 177847 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** markusle@gentoo.org 2007-05-10 12:57:47 0000 Hi Neil, Thanks for making us aware of this. I will have a look at it. Best, Markus markusle@gentoo.org 2007-05-11 13:32:56 0000 Hi Neil, I just added the "gd" useflag to the R-2.5.0 ebuild and the GDD module installs fine now.
