Bug 255097 – x11-libs/pixman-0.10.0 - /usr/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `pixman_region32_rectangles'

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Hayward 2009-01-15 21:57:39 UTC]

I tried "emerge --deep --update world" and pixman-0.10.0 failed to build. Details in attachments. As neither superstitiously installing libXinerama nor a revdep-rebuild as discussed in 247591 seemed to prevent the crash, I am opening a new bug instead of reopening the old one.

Environment info that emake said should be reported for diagnostics.

The output in the first attachment[1] suggests you rebuild x11-libs/cairo...

[1] Where's the rest of the build log? Why did you omit it? Please attach the entire thing...

Oh, and please try `emerge --deep --update --newuse world' (every) next time you change USE flags around.

Slightly different emerge options: `emerge --deep --update --newuse world'

Reopening after providing further attached information.

It looks like your cairo was previously built against a newer version of pixman (I believe those symbols come from pixman-0.11) but now you are trying to build the stable pixman. The pixman configure script finds the installed cairo and tries to build tests that use it, not realizing it is incompatible.

Try this:
* emerge -C cairo
* emerge --oneshot pixman cairo

This should make pixman skip the test that uses cairo, and then after pixman builds successfully cairo will get built against your current pixman. Then you can continue with the rest of your emerge.

After following the steps you suggested, it got past that sticking point in the build. (Other build failures encountered after that have been quick to resolve.)

Thanks,
