When merging gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.16.0.1 as part of an upgrade to gnome 2.16, the compile fails because dbus/dbus-glib.h cannot be found. rosetta ~ # locate dbus-glib.h /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-glib.h If the package were to use pkg-config, it should be able to find the header: rosetta ~ # pkg-config --cflags dbus-glib-1 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include Solution: add -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 to your CFLAGS
I guess you are using dbus-0.9x ?
please tell what dbus version are you using.
no response from reporter, not reproducible, new version in portage, marking fixed
