• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gabe 2004-06-17 15:47:04 UTC]

When I try to emerge gnome, it gets stuck at libgnomeprintui:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Get working gentoo system with keyword "~86"
2.  emerge sync
3.  emerge kde or gnome

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails every time.

Expected Results:  
It should have emered gnome and kde fine.

Setup:
  Athlon XP 2500+
  512 MB DDR
  Brand new install of gentoo 2004.1


I think this bug may affect anthing you try to emerge that depends on
fontconfig.  It looks like that path to libfontconfig.la is screwed up.  I think
it should be /usr/lib instead.  Not sure how to fix it though.  Please keep me
updated.  Thanks.

try to emerge fontconfig.. then try again.. perhaps kde and/or gnome isn't emerging that first.. cause that is where that file comes from.

If you still get more problems paste them..

[Comment 4 gabe 2004-06-18 09:37:28 UTC]

HI. Yes, I trie re-emerging fontconfig.  Doesn't work.  I've even tried re-emerging an older ebuild and still doesnt work.
