Bug 485116 – sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0 has missing dev-libs/check dep

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Iván Atienza 2013-09-16 17:24:07 UTC]

Configure fails with:
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for CHECK... no
configure: error: Package requirements (check >= 0.9.4) were not met:

No package 'check' found

after installing dev-libs/check configures and compile fine.

Salud.

Reproducible: Always

I also have this bug. I can also confirm that installing dev-libs/check fixes the problem.

I too can confirm this bug. For several hours I attempted to update sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0 which came into the emerge queue this morning. I struggled to find a solution with it failing with the following error message:

Exiting on signal 2

 * Messages for package sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0:

 * ERROR: sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0::gentoo failed (configure phase):
 *   econf failed
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *          ebuild.sh, line   93:  Called src_configure
 *        environment, line 2163:  Called econf '--enable-nls' '--enable-vlock'
 *   phase-helpers.sh, line  577:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                      die "econf failed"

I came across this report a few minutes ago and installed dev-libs/check. Now sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0 builds and installs with no problems.

Only tests need dev-libs/check:

# grep CHECK **/Makefile.am
Makefile.am:AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS = \
tests/Makefile.am:AM_CFLAGS = $(CHECK_CFLAGS)
tests/Makefile.am:LDADD  = $(top_builddir)/src/libkeymap/libkeymap.la $(CHECK_LIBS)
