Bug 176212 – media-gfx/graphviz-2.12 fails to compile (libltdl.la not found)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pse 2007-04-27 07:18:23 UTC]

Apparently, some makefiles reference to the old libltdl contained within the package. One of them is '${S}/lib/gvc/Makefile.am'. Relevant snip follows:

LIBS = $(LIBLTDL) $(SOCKET_LIBS)

${LIBLTDL} is expanded to '../../libltdl/libltdl.la', which is clearly the problem. Could it be a bug in 'configure.ac'?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =media-gfx/graphviz-2.12
2. Wait 'til failure.

Actual Results:  
libtool: link: cannot find the library `../../libltdl/libltdl.la' or unhandled argument `../../libltdl/libltdl.la'
make[3]: *** [libgvc_builtins.la] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
libtool: link: cannot find the library `../../libltdl/libltdl.la' or unhandled argument `../../libltdl/libltdl.la'
make[3]: *** [libgvc_C.la] Error 1

Expected Results:  
Successful compilation.

can you test 2.16.1?

Unfortunately, I'm not currently running any recent installation of Gentoo to try out.
Given the nature of the original report, if version 2.16.1 compiles fine, and no further failures are reported, it may then be considered fixed.

fair enough ;)
