Description gromlok 2007-04-05 18:05:28 UTC
When installing SPIM appears this:
/////////////////////////////////////////////
!!! ERROR: app-emulation/spim-7.3 failed.   
Call stack:
 ebuild.sh, line 1546:   Called dyn_compile
 ebuild.sh, line 937:   Called src_compile
 spim-7.3.ebuild, line 54:   Called die 
/////////////////////////////////////////////
In the gentoo forums was told that i must install first the "imake" package:
////////////////
equery belongs /usr/bin/xmkmf
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/xmkmf in *... ]
x11-misc/imake-1.0.2 (/usr/bin/xmkmf)
///////////////

After doing that, i could install SPIM without problems. Never the less, i was suggested to reports this as a "dependence bug". 

Greetings:

PD: the documentation for know how to send a bug to the gentoo developers is too long and complex in my opinion. 
PD2: when searching for bugs of SPIM in this page i just get "Zarro Boogs found", and no other information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.su 
2.emerge spim
3.

Actual Results:  
ERROR: app-emulation/spim-7.3 failed. 

Expected Results:  
Install SPIM. For make this successful, first the "imake" package must be installed, thing that gentoo does not do actually..

Excuse me, i do not see the relation with the emerging of virtual/X11 and the SPIM language.

emerge -C = *un*merge, not emerge... The dependency on imake is already there, and been there for ages.
