The local autoconf macros used by unixODBC 2.2.6 include QT configuration macros. However, those QT macros are dependent on the AC_PATH_X autoconf macro (that locates the X include and library directories). Without this configure.in macro, the --enable-gui (enabled by 'use qt') will fail to configure unixODBC-2.2.6 due to its failure to locate the X includes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. export use="qt" 2. emerge dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.6 Actual Results: ... checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! !!! ERROR: dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.6 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 32, Exitcode 1 !!!

Created attachment 22015 [details, diff] configure.in patch that resolves this defect's described issue I am using this patch via a local unixODBC-2.2.6-r1 ebuild to address this issue on my primary workstation.
Created attachment 22016 [details] an example unixODBC-2.2.6-r1.ebuild that patches configure.in This is the ebuild I prepared that patches unixODBC-2.2.6 to address its failure to configure X when its --enable-gui (via use 'qt') is configured.
