The configure script stops with "configure: error: No graphics drivers found." My USE var says -png so links should be compiled with the appropriate configure option to not use graphics but it does anyway.
Well can you send me send the last output bofore the merge dies?? I don't have much info to work off since it works fine on my machine.. oh yeah what use variables do you have set maybe send the USE line of make.conf.
Here you go: checking for png.h... yes checking for libpng/png.h... yes checking for png_create_info_struct in -lpng... yes checking for png_set_rgb_to_gray... yes checking if you can include both setjmp.h and png.h... no checking for tiffio.h... yes checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... yes checking for X... disabled checking for pmshell... no checking for gui/view.h... no checking for gui/window.h... no checking for gui/desktop.h... no checking for gui/bitmap.h... no checking for util/locker.h... no checking for util/application.h... no configure: error: No graphics drivers found. The USE var says: USE="-3dnow -apm -arts -avi berkdb crypt cups encode gdbm -gif -gpm -gtk innodb -imlib -ipv6 -java -jpeg -kde libg++ libwww -mikmod mmx -motif -mpeg ncurses nls -oggvorbis -opengl pam -pdflib -png -python -qt -qtmt -quicktime readline -sdl slang -spell ssl -svga -tcltk -tcpd -truetype -X -xml2 -xmms -xv"
Perhaps you may wish to check bug #4764 . The error message isn't quite the same you have, but the simptom is the same, and it was fixed by building a newer version of links.
Nope doesn't work, still fails with that graphics driver error msg. I've now looked into it myself a bit ./configure --disable-graphics | grep graphics checking if you want to use graphics... yes Because I also have --without-fb in the ebuild due to the USE vars no graphics driver is found. So this is really a problem of the configure script not the ebuild. I will file a bug report with the links developers soon.
Try to update libpng then merge it in.. there was a portage bug and libpng issue, My friend had the same issue as you do and now it works fine Naz
No that does of course not work because it has nothing to with each other. The links configure script is just plain stupid and doesn't really care about --disable-graphics ... If I manually compile and don't give --disable-graphics, then the configure script runs through and graphics are disabled but if you give it that option the aforementioned error occurs.
Is this a now invalid bug?
Well I dunno what Bugzilla status it should get, but gentoo couldn't do anything about it except you wanted to patch the configure script. I dunno about the new pre6 of links, I have posted to the links-list some time ago but have never again tested it. So when you make an ebuild for a newer version just try to build links on system without X installed and you'll know if they fixed it :)
Can this be closed ?
Close due to no traffic. If this is still an issue with latest links, reopen.
