Emerging balsa without libgtkhtml already emerged causes it to fail. May or may not have other missing dependencies that I have pre-installed, didn't check. checking for glib-2.0 libgnome-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 gnome-vfs-2.0 gnome-vfs-module-2.0 libgtkhtml-2.0 ... Package libgtkhtml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgtkhtml-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgtkhtml-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements ( glib-2.0 libgnome-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 gnome-vfs-2.0 gnome-vfs-module-2.0 libgtkhtml-2.0 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. !!! ERROR: net-mail/balsa-2.0.9-r1 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add libgtkhtml to list of dependencies or pre-install it Actual Results: Worked fine Running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", ymmv.
it already has this dependancy, what different versions of libgtkhtml do you have installed and which one of those did you have to add ? The dependancy works incorrectly for sure if you had libgtkhtml-3 unmasked in p.mask .
No libgtkhtml installed before trying to install balsa. When I got the error I simply emerged libgtkhtml and tried emerging balsa again. Worked like a charm that time. The libgtkhtml version that got installed was 2.2.3, I did not specify version when emerging. Looking at the ebuild file for balsa, I see: gtkhtml? ( >=gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-2 ) Looks to me like that dependency needs to be for everyone, not just the ones who have gtkhtml set.
nah, turned out to be a problem in the switch, it was named wrong (or maybe they changed it over time). Should build just fine without gtkhtml. I'm adding 2.0.10 with fix as we speak.
