Bug 311729 – net-analyzer/wireshark-1.2.6-r1: Could not run GTK+ test program

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotr 2010-03-28 10:51:45 UTC]

When I try to update to wireshark-1.2.6-r1 I get the following error:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: GTK+ 2.4 or later isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled


but I have GTK+ installed:

moonlight ~ # emerge -p gtk+

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.18.9  USE="cups jpeg jpeg2k tiff xinerama (-aqua) -debug -doc -test -vim-syntax"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 wireshark
OR
1. emerge -uD world

Post the config.log file that ./configure generates from the portage's temp/work directory.

You can't mix -fomit-frame-pointer with -pg (that's USE profile). In fact, you shouldn't be enabling USE profile if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks and sorry for trouble.
Although error could be more precise.
