When I attempt to emerge gimp-2.0.0 (with the command "emerge /usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.0.0.ebuild -v"), about 5 minutes into the build process, it fails, with the following errors: [...] /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgailutil.so.17, needed by /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgnomecanvas-2.so.0, needed by /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_buffer_setup' /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_new' /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so: undefined reference to `gail_misc_add_attribute' /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_get_text' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [helpbrowser] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-2.0.0/work/gimp-2.0.0/plug-ins/helpbrowser' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-2.0.0/work/gimp-2.0.0/plug-ins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-2.0.0/work/gimp-2.0.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: media-gfx/gimp-2.0.0 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 89, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) ------------------ The relevant USE flags in place for this emerge were: "+X +aalib -altivec -debug -doc -gimpprint -gtkhtml +jpeg +mmx +mng +png +python +sse -tiff -wmf". After manually emerging gail first (which also installed libgnomecanvas), gimp-2.0.0 emerged perfectly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure gail/libgnomecanvas is not installed 2. emerge gimp 2.0.0 Actual Results: Gimp-2.0.0 emerge failed, complaining that various things to do with gail don't exist Expected Results: Gimp-2.0.0 ebuild should require gail/libgnomecanvas (not sure whether it has anything to do with my USE flags, "+X +aalib -altivec -debug -doc -gimpprint -gtkhtml +jpeg +mmx +mng +png +python +sse -tiff -wmf"
you probably cleaned your system not so long ago ( emerge --depclean) ?
I've never cleaned my system, ever, using --depclean. But, now that you mention it, I may have manually removed these packages when I got sick of GNOME... But I can't remember, that would have been a LONG time ago. Either way, don't these deps still need to be put into the ebuild?
no, they're deps of deps and not directly used by gimp. You removed the stuff yourself, you get to keep the pieces. Closing INVALID (= not a bug).
