GNOME depends on vorbis-tools, but libogg wasn't installed prior to attempting to compile vorbis-tools, therefore leading to a crazy-strange configure problem. Installing libogg and then continuing fixes the problem.
so you mean that: vorbis-tools do not depend on libogg ???
Perhaps. In fact that's probably a more astute proposal. :)
vorbis-tools depends on libvorbis, which depends on libogg. So yes, vorbis-tools does depend on libogg. marking this as invalid because of that.
So my GNOME build failed because of random alpha particles? Clearly, SOMETHING, is wrong. The test in vorbis-tools for libogg failed. Which means it wasn't there and it wasn't installed PRIOR to an attempt to emerge vorbis-tools. Therefore SOMETHING (I don't know what), happened. I was attempting to bring attention to it.
Yeah, you got our attention. The fact is that vorbis tools needs libvorbis and libvorbis needs libogg. So the only logical explanation is that you removed libogg and still had libvorbis around. That makes it a user issue and hardly ours. Actually spider and i discussed it a bit in the channel and we decided to add the libogg dep to libvorbis as well, altough it is redundant it might protect some users ;) So your report was treated seriously and closed because we did what we could do (altough this last fact so far didnt make it to this report). Nothing to get all touchy about.
Oh, I wasn't getting touchy. Problem with text communication. :) This was just on a first time install of Gentoo and a first time emerge on a stage 3 tarball. So I knew it wasn't something that I did. Thanks for explaining everything. :)
