Bug 107758 – xca-0.5.1 does not compile with more than one db4 version installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Sinclair 2005-09-30 23:59:04 UTC]

xca-0.5.1 uses it's own little, quirky configure script. There is a patch included to make configure find a 
db4 headers correctly, but it's broken if more than one version of db4 is installed - i.e. /usr/include/
db4.1/ and /usr/include/db4.2



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install db4.1 and db4.2 together. You should have /usr/include/db4.1 and /usr/include/db4.2 
directories now.
2. Emerge xca
3.

Actual Results:  
During emerge configure step blows up

Expected Results:  
xca compiles

Patch to configure file to make it work

This patch fixes the problem, but it also makes xca compile against the oldest
version of db4 installed. I'm not sure if that's a problem, but if so then this
should at least be a starting point for a better fix.

Please fix this in portage!

[Comment 3 Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) 2006-09-20 07:38:27 UTC]

Haven't this been fixed using configure-db.patch?

[Comment 4 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2006-09-22 16:13:55 UTC]

thanks - please reopen if there are any problems/
