After the update of kde (from 3.3 to 3.4) ksimus-boolean, ksimus-datarecorder, ksimus-floatingpoint don't compile anymore. The problem is: i have no kde-3.3 anymore and arts is not installed, but the configure-script of these packages checks for mcopidl which should be in arts. error message: ... checking for dcopidl... /usr/kde/3.4/bin/dcopidl checking for dcopidl2cpp... /usr/kde/3.4/bin/dcopidl2cpp checking for mcopidl... not found configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found! Please check whether you installed aRts correctly. !!! ERROR: sci-mathematics/ksimus-boolean-0.3.6 failed. !!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 152, Exitcode 1 !!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. possible solutions: 1.) add arts as a dependency for ksimus, even if it doesn't really need the libraries in any way 2.) patch the configure i would vote for 2.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ksimus-boolean Actual Results: configure gives an error Expected Results: configure should run through and compilation should be clean.
That's the difference between doing something and thinking you've done something... I'll check this.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for the hint.
