Bug 52369 – x11-base/xfree 4.3.0-r5 has empty /etc/env.d/10xfree causing link errors

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Muggli 2004-05-29 09:24:02 UTC]

When trying to emerge x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.0-r1, I got a message saying it couldn't find one of the libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib.  Also, vncserver would not start.

This problem began after doing an emerge --update system which updated me to  x11-base/xfree 4.3.0-r5

I discovered that /usr/X11R6/lib was not in my ld.so.conf and /usr/X11R6/bin was not in my path.  I found out that /etc/env.d/10xfree was empty.  I put in an LDPATH statement and manually fixed my path so I could get a vncserver running.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --update system
2. encounter and do workaround from bug 43790 
3. emerge --update system, x11-libs/pango-1.4.0 build dies for lack of libXext, fix /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig
3. emerge --update system and watch it get past pango and then the gtk+ ebuild fail during ./configure, alternately, run any program needing a library from /usr/X11R6/lib

Actual Results:  
message for x11-libs/pango-1.4.0:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
warning: libXext.so.6, needed by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so, not found (try using
 -rpath or -rpath-link)

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [pango-querymodules] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pango-1.4.0/work/pango-


Expected Results:  
successfull emerge

Right now my /etc/env.d/10xfree only has LDPATH. If someone could dump their
complete one into the bug notes, that would be great!

Martin, did this bug ever show up in xfree's -r6 or in any of the xorg-x11 packages?

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-10-07 16:17:38 UTC]

Let us know if this is occurring with newer versions.
