when I try to `emerge -u media-plugins/xmms-mad` the build fails with: checking for id3tag... Package id3tag was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `id3tag.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'id3tag' found configure: error: Library requirements (id3tag) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. !!! ERROR: media-plugins/xmms-mad-0.5.1 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 11, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I tried emerging: media-libs/id3lib, media-sound/id3, media-sound/id3v2 in hopes that one of them sastified the dep but none worked. I was unable to tell what was needed for configure to complete :-(
what version of media-sound/mad do you have, sandy? please update or remerge the newest version (-r2)
make sure you have the latest mad emerged, and then remerge this (after rsync). I added dev-util/pkgconfig to the DEPEND list, which should sort you out.
I (re)-merged the following and my problem went away, thanks. # emerge -p dev-util/pkgconfig mad xmms-mad These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] dev-util/pkgconfig-0.14.0 [ebuild R ] media-sound/mad-0.14.2b-r2 [ebuild U ] media-plugins/xmms-mad-0.5.1 [0.1.1-r0]
