Description Marcelo Fontenele S Santos 2003-10-07 18:27:45 UTC 
When I try to emerge libgeotiff I receive an error about libtiff version:

checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... yes
checking for TIFFMergeFieldInfo in -ltiff... no
configure: error: Libtiff 3.6.0 Beta or later required for this version of
libgeotiff. Please upgrade libtiff or use an older version of libgeotiff.

!!! ERROR: dev-libs/libgeotiff-1.2.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

I have version 3.5.7-r1 of media-libs/tiff installed and the DEPEND clause in
geotiff's ebuild says:

>=media-libs/tiff-3.3.4


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge libgeotiff


Actual Results:  
emerge failed.

Expected Results:  
emerged libgeotiff.

I think it would be enough to fix the DEPEND clause in the ebuild.

libtiff 3.6.0 beta2 hasn't even been committed to the repository yet.  Do you need to use the newer version of libgeotiff?
Comment 2 Marcelo Fontenele S Santos 2003-11-24 06:02:20 UTC 
What I am saying is that the ebuild is wrong because the version in the DEPEND clause is the wrong one.

tiff 3.6.0 is available using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" as is libgeotiff and that is why I opened the bug.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -s tiff

*  media-libs/tiff
      Latest version available: 3.6.0
      Latest version installed: 3.5.7-r1
      Size of downloaded files: 1,005 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.libtiff.org/
      Description: Library for manipulation of TIFF (Tag Image File Format) images.

I am not using it at the moment, so no need to hurry.
Comment 3 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-24 10:00:20 UTC 
Changed the depend to >=tiff-3.6.0.  Thanks for the explanation.
