Trying to emerge xmms-shell with readline in my USE results in the problems described in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117995&highlight= The solution there works, so it looks like configure.in should be modified to check ncurses first. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add readline to USE 2.emerge xmms-shell 3.configure doesn't see readline Actual Results: xmms-shell had no readline support and so it was pretty useless. Expected Results: Configure.in should be changed to if test x$with_readline = xyes then AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses, main) AC_CHECK_LIB(readline, readline) fi The AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses, main) is the new line needed for it to work.

Hmm.. fixing configure.in doesn't let xmms-shell compile: Making all in include make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmms-shell-0.99.0-r1/work/xmms-shell-0.99.0/include' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmms-shell-0.99.0-r1/work/xmms-shell-0.99.0/include' Making all in src make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmms-shell-0.99.0-r1/work/xmms-shell-0.99.0/src' g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I/usr/include/xmms -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -c getline.cc getline.cc: In function `void getline_rl_init()': getline.cc:246: invalid conversion from `char**(*)()' to `char**(*)(const char*, int, int)' make[1]: *** [getline.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmms-shell-0.99.0-r1/work/xmms-shell-0.99.0/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
please test xmms-shell-0.99.3 which doesn't appear to have the same compile problem. If I get a good report or 4 I will happily mark 0.99.3 as stable and remove the broken version from portage.
I still get the same problem. Should I check something else? >>> Unpacking xmms-shell-0.99.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/xmms-shell-0.99.3/work >>> Source unpacked. creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for xmms-config... yes checking XMMS version... 1.2.7 checking XMMS libs... yes checking XMMS cflags... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... no checking for c++... g++
I added a patch to fix it in xmms-shell-0.99.3-r1
Yay! Works! You guys rock! checking for main in -lncurses... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... yes checking for c++... g++
