gnustep-back blows up on compiling. I tried eliminating the patch that is included (which points to a non-existing /usr/include/X11/Xft1/Xft.h ), but it still dies with the same error.

Just did a full re-install of Gentoo 1.4_rc3 with the exact same make.conf and everything compiled fine this time. Go figure.
sorry i didn't get to this earlier. i've been pretty bogged down with bugs as of late. anyway, i'll have to look at this a bit further. so does that mean your new system has /usr/include/X11/Xft1/Xft.h ?
No, it still doesn't have that directory, but everything built and installed correctly this time. I am finding things to be pretty unstable, but that may just be the nature of gnustep and/or the apps right now, I have no previous experience to judge by.
BTW, are you the keeper of "All Things GNUstep" for Gentoo? Any word on additional packages? If nobody else is working on them, I'll whip up some ebuilds for the usual suspects (Pantomime, GNUMail.app, Gorm.app, etc)
ok .. the problem is that gnustep-back doesn't support >=xfree-4.3.0. it is most likely that your 1.4_rc3 on x86 is currently at 4.2.1 and your old setup was at 4.3.0. is that right?
actually that probably isn't right. i just checked my 1.4_rc3 stable and it doesn't have /usr/include/X11/Xft1/Xft.h i'll look at this again tomorrow.
Nope. The only difference before in my X was that it was originally a 4.2.1 which was then upgraded to 4.3.0, this install was 4.3.0 from the beginning (~x86 since bootstrap). caleb@chinstrap caleb $ X -version XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-xfs_pre6 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 18 March 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.

i'm actually not the GNUstep guy for gentoo. I was just assigned this bug because of Xft. If you have additional ebuilds you wish to contribute, feel free to submit them to bugzilla.
alright. i think i know whats going on now. 1. gnustep-back (0.8.3 and 0.8.4) will only work with Xft1. that is provided by xfree and exist in the files /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.1. 2. Gentoo also installs Xft2 which is in package x11-libs/xft-2.0 3. for xfree-4.2.1*, it installs the Xft1 headers in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft1 _if_ it finds /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so being linked libXft.so.2.0 (Xft2). 4. xfree-4.3.0 doesn't even have Xft1 anymore, AFAIK. So this should be broken with the new xfree. i think the Xft1 inlcude files should be installed regardless of whether xft2 is installed or not. i'll have to raise this with the xfree maintainers. the only thing i'm not sure is how you got it to build with xfree 4.3.0. because i surely can't get it done on my side. it maybe possible that your GNUstep was built without Xft support, which would of eliminated all the problems associated with Xft. Would you be able to verify whether your GNUstep stuff has Xft support (anti-aliased fonts)?
Nope, appears that it doesn't have Xft support. That would explain why it built this time.
fixed ebuild to explicitly remove xft support if Xft1 is not detected. this will have to do for now until the next release contains proper xft2 support that is in >=xfree-4.2.1
