Description Ben 2013-10-23 21:34:55 UTC

I tried to install dev-perl/RRD-Simple and it died not finding RRDs.pm.  I found that it was supposed to be installed in net-analyzer/rrdtool, and apparently it won't unless it was built with USE=perl

So, easy fix for RRD-Simple, need RDEPEND on net-analyzer/rrdtool[perl] ?

Comment 1 Ben 2013-10-23 21:37:18 UTC

Whoops, clarification.  The emerge/build worked fine, it's a runtime issue.

When trying to use RRD::Simple in a perl script, this will fail with not being able to find RRDs.pm.

+  27 Nov 2013; Tony Vroon <chainsaw@gentoo.org> RRD-Simple-1.440.0.ebuild:
+  Be stricter about our rrdtool run-time dependency; as pointed out by Ben in
+  bug #489196 we cannot cope with RRDs.pm being absent. That means building
+  rrdtool with USE="perl".

My apologies for the delay here; your fix is obviously correct (which is the best kind of correct) and now in place.
