Bug 56153 – emerge dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4 fails with confusing use flags

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark 2004-07-05 11:23:46 UTC]

When emerging wxpython an error is generated saying that "either emerge wxGTK without 'gtk2' in your USE flags or emerge wxpython with 'gtk2' in your USE flags."

Doing an USE="-gtk2" emerge wxGTK and then emerge wxpython fails with the same result.

Doing an USE="gtk2" emerge wxPython fails with the same error message

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge wxpython-2.4.2.4
2.

Actual Results:  
>>> emerge (1 of 22) dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) wxPythonSrc-2.4.2.4.tar.gz
 * You need x11-libs/wxGTK compiled with GTK+1.
 * Either emerge wxGTK without 'gtk2' in your USE flags or
 * emerge wxpython with 'gtk2' in your USE flags.
 
!!! ERROR: dev-python/wxpython-2.4.2.4 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 48, Exitcode 0
!!! wxGTK needs to be compiled without gtk2

I'll look at this.

This:
 * emerge wxpython with 'gtk2' in your USE flags.

Should have read:
 * emerge wxpython with '-gtk2' in your USE flags.

Fixed in CVS. 
So just make sure you compile both wxGTK and wxPython with 'gtk2' or '-gtk2'.
