Bug 596858 – Can not upgrade to media-libs/openexr-2.2.0 from 2.1.0 | SOLVED

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oleg Akimov 2016-10-11 13:24:25 UTC]

I have installed media-libs/openexr-2.1.0
Compilation of media-libs/openexr-2.2.0 is failed with message:

/var/portage-tmp/portage/media-libs/openexr-2.2.0/work/openexr-2.2.0/IlmImfUtil/ImfImageIO.cpp: In function ‘Imf_2_1::Image* Imf_2_1::loadImage(const string&, Imf_2_1::Header&)’:
/var/portage-tmp/portage/media-libs/openexr-2.2.0/work/openexr-2.2.0/IlmImfUtil/ImfImageIO.cpp:96:65: error: no matching function for call to ‘isOpenExrFile(const char*, bool&, bool&, bool&)’
     if (!isOpenExrFile (fileName.c_str(), tiled, deep, multiPart))


Solution: one must uninstall previous version first:

1. emerge -C openexr
2. emerge -va1 openexr

That was a know issue, which is why 2.2.0-r1 was released. :) It was released a day before this bug: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/media-libs/openexr/openexr-2.2.0-r1.ebuild

Try that instead.

Thanks, worked like a charm!
