I get the following error after typing emerge gnome:


checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.11
                  gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 1.3.11

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeui-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I have libglade installed on my system.  Here is the ouput of emerge -s libglade:

It shows that libglade 2.0.1 in installed.  Please let me know if you need more info
about my system.

Ok, I just saw that libgnomeui is the one not installed on my system.  However, after
trying to emerge libgnomeui it has to install gnome-themes first!  So this still won't work.

[Comment 2 Cletus Lichte 2003-03-14 09:10:25 UTC]

I just checked both the ebuild files for both libgnomeui and gnome-themes and they both have each other listed as dependencies!  Can I delete a line from one of the ebuilds?

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-14 10:16:00 UTC]

i think gnome-themes can do without, but it is a circular dep. I have removed it from gnome-themes for now.

Thanks for the report.

Ok, this didn't fix it.  The compile doesn't fail with emerge, it fails with the configure
script.  gnome-themes has to have libgnomeui installed.  I checked the older ebuilds for
libgnomeui and there is no requirement for gnome-themes in them, but in libgnomeui-2.2.0.1 ebuild two theme dependencies have been added.  Are they *really* needed?

[Comment 5 Catherine 2003-03-14 20:51:14 UTC]

I have been having the same problem all day with this exact ebuild...very annoying.  I overcame the problem by installing gnome-themes-2.2.  This has allowed me to install libgnomeui. It is finally compiling and I will hopefully get gdm installed by the nights end.  Hope that helps you.

I finally just commented out the theme statements in the libgnomeui ebuild and built it.  It seems to be working just fine.

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 06:39:39 UTC]

hmm maybe we should make libgnomeui pdepend on gnome-themes, cause they are needed

[Comment 9 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 22:26:19 UTC]

i'm leaning towards getting rid of gnome-themes from the libgnomeui's depend because if we do it the other way round (removing libgnomeui from gnome-themes), then gnome-themes will not compile.

i say make libgnomeui PDEPEND on gnome-themes. foser?

[Comment 10 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-16 09:55:06 UTC]

yep thats the idea and returning the libgnomeui dep to gnome-themes .. 

done in the tree now.
