Bug 204264 – net-misc/icaclient needs to bundle its own openmotif-2.2 or die

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-01-04 11:01:34 UTC]

This is the only thing in the whole tree that requires 2.2 slot of openmotif. 

Sorry, but with motif-config being a totally fubared idea (Bug 117057, Bug 147067 etc.), this needs to either ship its own copy installed to /opt/${PN}/lib with an appropriate env.d entry, or die. It doesn't work anyway once you switch to 2.3 via the motif-config thing, no matter what the dependency is in the ebuild.

 Yes, the browser plugin works fine, the client itself cannot find libXm.so.3.  OpenMotif 2.3 ships libXm.so.4.  Symlinking /usr/lib/libXm.so.4.0.0 to /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 helps...should icaclient create such a link or openmotif ebuild?

Oh, cool... Well not really a hack that'd belong to openmotif I'd say, but a lot easier than bundling a binary package of openmotif with this. (I'd be even better if the symlink could be somewhere in /opt if icaclient is looking there as well).

 No way to create it in /opt, I depend on >=openmotif-2.3.0 and block everything below in icaclient-10.6-r1 (~arch) to avoid file collisions.  Symlink is created in /usr/lib(64)/ and we are good to go.  Fixed.

I just discovered this "solution". It's not the job of $randompackage to create such symlinks in /usr/lib/.

Why don't you symlink /usr/lib(64)/libXm.so.4 to /opt/ICAClient/libXm.so.3 and add the latter directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH? wfcmgr.bin is started by a wrapper script anyway, so you could even set the path there.

Fixed.

[Comment 6 Ulrich Müller 2008-02-21 20:15:37 UTC]

Sorry, reopening again. icaclient-10.6-r2.ebuild still does:
        dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/libXm.so /usr/$(get_libdir)/libXm.so.3

Furthermore, "!<x11-libs/openmotif-2.3.0" should be removed from RDEPEND (not that it would really matter, but it is then no longer necessary).

Forgot to remove that symlink line.  Thanks for the reminder.
