Description totenkopf 2003-05-22 17:08:47 UTC

While compiling gnome-pim 1.4.8 it bombs out unless libxml is installed.  Libxml
is not listed as a dependency but once I emerged libxml, gnome-pim installed
without incident.  Below is a copy from my failed emerge gnome-pim log:

checking for X11/SM/SMlib.h... yes
checking for XpmFreeXpmImage in -lXpm... yes
checking for gnome-config... (cached) /usr/bin/gnome-config
Unknown library `xml'
checking for xmlNewDoc in -lxml... Unknown library `xml'
no
configure: error: Could not link sample xml program

!!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gnome-pim-1.4.8 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 26, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)

probably more correct to say that gnome-pim configure needs xml. I added some magic to get around the libxml check. Remove libxml, rsync and rebuild gnome-pim to see if it works please (give the fix some time to propagate).

I unmerged libxml, remerged gnome-pim without incident.  The fix worked.  Thanks
