snippets from my last failed `emerge -a virtualbox`: Checking for libIDL: found version 0.8.7, OK. Checking for SDL: SDL not found at -lSDL -lSDLmain -I/usr/include/SDL or SDL headers not found Check the file configure.log for detailed error information. They are both listed in RDEPEND, I *think* they should be moved to DEPEND. I did not save the first error, but the configure portion of the compile bombed out on me originally because of some missing libIDL files. (Perhaps there's a header package or something that can be substituted?) All I can say is that after emerging libIDL, the configure moved right on to the SDL section above where it promptly died. Emerging libsdl seems to have fixed that one as well. My most recent `emerge -a virtualbox` is still running. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -a virtualbox 2. 3.
Except that it already depends on both - DEPEND="${RDEPEND} ... "
Eh... REPEND != RDEPEND :P
I saw that, and thought it was for something else... Didn't realize it was a typo.
whops... ;)
