I have xorg-x11 6.8.0-r4 installed. I am on a fresh 2004.3 install from stage1, stable arch (x86). dev-db/unixODBC can't seem to find the X11 libs. My guess is chicken-and-egg problem. qt wouldn't build with 'odbc' use flag unless you had odbc installed. odbc wouldn't build with 'qt' use flag unless you had qt installed. I'm sure there is a problem, but i'm not 100% on what causes it or how to fix it yet. ... checking for snprintf... yes checking for semundo union... yes checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries.

after emerge'ing qt, unixODBC script continues to fail at finding X libraries when USE="qt gnome". Not chicken-and-egg problem.
i'm referencing my /etc/portage/package.use: # does not work =dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.6 -gnome qt # works fine #=dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.6 gnome -qt This is a problem when the 'qt' USE flag and unixODBC-2.2.6
I experienced the same problem. I had to USE="-odbc" emerge qt to get QT installed, but attempting to install unixODBC afterward gave me that same error regarding X libraries not being found. The problem regarding the QT and ODBC flags together seems to just be the QT libraries attempting to use the database drivers before they've been installed, and the unixODBC drivers requiring QT be installed before they'll go in. When I attempted to emerge just qt, it would list unixODBC then qt. When I attmempt to emerge just unixODBC, it would list qt first. That is probably where you got the chicken and egg theory from.
Since X.Org the libraries path has been moved to another loacation. You have to edit current unixODBC ebuild and add --x-libraries flag to configure script in src_compile() function. This works fine for me: src_compile() { local myconf if use qt then myconf="--enable-gui=yes" else myconf="--enable-gui=no" fi ./configure --host=${CHOST} \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc/unixODBC \ ######################## #next line is added by me ######################## --x-libraries=/usr/lib \ ${myconf} || die make || die if use gnome then # Symlink for configure ln -s ${S}/odbcinst/.libs ./lib # Symlink for libtool ln -s ${S}/odbcinst/.libs ./lib/.libs cd gODBCConfig ./configure --host=${CHOST} \ --with-odbc=${S} \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc/unixODBC \ || die # not sure why these symlinks are needed. busted configure, i guess... ln -s ../depcomp . ln -s ../libtool . make || die cd .. fi } !!!And sorry for my bad english
Committed.
