This version of dvipdfm requires that kpathsea and its headers be installed. If you are sure they are installed and in a standard place, maybe you need a newer version of kpathsea?

Maybe this ebuild is for those with an earlier version of tetex? This is closeable. Thanks for looking at it. Stephen obz@gentoo.org 2003-10-01 09:47:28 0000 No problem looking at your problem. But I think we have another problem here if tetex-2 provides dvipdfm, which it does. Usata: can dvipdfm depend =tetex-1, or is the support in tetex-2 not great enough that it warrants including seperately ? (in that case we really need tetex-2 to not include it's own dvipdfm and depend on the external ebuild). Thanks. obz@gentoo.org 2003-10-01 10:00:50 0000 this a ping to usata, because he was just added to the text-markup CC list. usata@gentoo.org 2003-10-01 11:40:06 0000 Hi I got a mail from text-markup@g.o ;-) dvipdfm is now developed within tetex distribution and they don't release dvipdfm separately, so there's no point to remove dvipdfm from app-text/tetex-2.0.2. I vote for putting DEPEND="=app-text/tetex-1*" to dvipdfm ebuild. FYI: I exclude dvipdfm from app-text/ptex ebuild just because I want ptex to depend on dvipdfmx rather than dvipdm. (dvipdfm can't handle cjk characters) obz@gentoo.org 2003-10-02 05:42:46 0000 My sentiments exactly usata, agreed. I've updated dvipdfm to depend on tetex-1.
