Bug 41275 – Kahakai 0.6.2 fails to find ruby during econf

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Diers 2004-02-11 11:06:46 UTC]

Kahakai ebuild includes the command: use-enable ruby, use-enable xinerama, use-enable truetype xft. Yet there are no such dependencies listed. As a result (in my case) econf fails, because I do not have ruby.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
On a system lacking ruby, xinerama, or xft, emerge kahakai 0.6.2

Actual Results:  
econf fails

Expected Results:  
missing dependencies should be merged first.

Update to the above.

I probably misunderstand the purpose of the use-enable function in builds. Furthermore, I discovered that I do indeed have ruby installed, though I forgot about this.

That said, I changed the Summary of this bug to reflect this fact.

When I try to merge, though I do indeed have the lastest stable build of ruby installed (1.8.0) the build fails to find it.

Please give us the exact version of ruby you have (ruby-1.8.0.ebuild
is gone from Portage tree atm) and the output of `ls -l /usr/bin/ruby*`.
Also, the output of `emerge info` would be nice.

Created attachment 25545 [details]
emerge log of latest attempt

I have version 1.8.0-r1 of Ruby installed.

The attached log is my emerge attempt, with the following command:
USE="ruby" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v kahakai

I remerged ruby and then remerged kahakai. Now it works. Changing status of bug to INVALID.
