For 2.3.16 and 2.3.20:

checking for NOTIFY... configure: error: Package requirements ( libnotify ) were not met:

No package 'libnotify' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables NOTIFY_CFLAGS
and NOTIFY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


and yes, I do have USE=-libnotify .

gnome.h is provided by libgnomeui which is a dep of balsa. Try emerge -1 libgnomeui ?

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-01-03 22:58:49 UTC]

this should be fixed in the just commited balsa-2.3.22. Please test out.

looks like upstream screwed their check. It builds fine with "-libnotify" but I have it installed and I guess you guys don't.

2.3.22 is fixed in tree, 2.3.13 and 2.3.16 died a while ago and 2.3.20 will die as soon as I get 2.3.22 stabilized. Thanks for reporting.
