As posted on gentoo forums [http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2614915.html]: My most recent emerge -uDav world failed to compile control-center-2.10.1-r1. It failed with: Code: ... checking for libmetacity-private... Package libmetacity-private was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libmetacity-private.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libmetacity-private' found configure: error: Library requirements (libmetacity-private) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. following this post I did Code: emerge --unmerge metacity then Code: emerge control-center This went fine until I got the new error: Code: --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-gnome-base_-_control-center-2.10.1-r1-13965.log" open_wr: /vvar/tmp/portage/control-center-2.10.1-r1/image/usr/share/control-center-2.0/pixmaps/keyboard-repeat.png open_wr: /vvar/tmp/portage/control-center-2.10.1-r1/image/usr/share/control-center-2.0/pixmaps/keyboard-cursor.png open_wr: /vvar/tmp/portage/control-center-2.10.1-r1/image/usr/share/control-center-2.0/pixmaps/keyboard-volume.png open_wr: /vvar/tmp/portage/control-center-2.10.1-r1/image/usr/share/control-center-2.0/pixmaps/keyboard-bell.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like a typo: /vvar Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sync 2.emerge -uDav world (or emerge -uDav gnome) 3.
