Bug 249828 – ebuild for net-im/climm-0.6.3 seems to have wrong deps

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Weber 2008-12-04 18:15:22 UTC]

When i tried to install net-im/climm-0.6.3 with the USE-Flags USE="gloox gnutls* otr ssl -tcl", it failed to install with the following error message:

[...]
checking for gcrypt.h... yes
configure: error: cannot find GnuTLS library
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/net-im/climm-0.6.3/work/climm-0.6.3/config.log
 * 
 * ERROR: net-im/climm-0.6.3 failed.
 * Call stack:

 *               ebuild.sh, line  529:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                      die "econf failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   econf failed
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-im/climm-0.6.3/temp/environment'.

I think there is something wrong with the ebuilds deps.
Emerging net-libs/gnutls manually before fixes the problem

I think something was simply wrong with your gnutls,
libgnutls-config script is nothing new,
so it should have been there all the time.

[Comment 6 Andreas Weber 2008-12-04 22:57:43 UTC]

Shouldn't climm pull gnutls in as a dependency when the gnutls useflag is used? It obviously doesn't, i was able to reproduce the case on another machine.

I'm not sure if that is the intended behavior, that's why i created this bug report. 

[Comment 7 Rafał Mużyło 2008-12-05 02:21:13 UTC]

OK, I misunderstood you - I thought you already had gnutls emerged.

In that case, you're right, it is an ebuild bug.

ssl? (
      || ( gnutls? ( >=net-libs/gnutls-0.8.10 )
      dev-libs/openssl ) )

should probably be rewritten.

Rewritten in CVS, thanks for the notice
