The statistical language dev-lang/R has a number of add-on modules (see CRAN at
http://cran.r-project.org/). 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?

Hi Neil,
Thanks for making us aware of this. I will have a look at it.
Best,
Markus
Hi Neil,
I just added the "gd" useflag to the R-2.5.0 ebuild
and the GDD module installs fine now.
Thanks,
Markus
