Bug 61546 – gaim-0.81-r5 failes to configure and build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Davison 2004-08-24 11:29:31 UTC]

When I try to build gaim-0.81-r5, it fails to cofigure.  

The tail end of the configure portion of the build is:

checking for krb_rd_req in -lkrb4... no
checking for krb_rd_req in -lkrb... no
configure: error: Kerberos 4 libraries not found

!!! ERROR: net-im/gaim-0.81-r5 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

When I check the ebuild for the kerberos dependency it says:

DEPEND=">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0
    >=dev-libs/glib-2.0
    nas? ( >=media-libs/nas-1.4.1-r1 )
    sys-devel/gettext
    media-libs/libao
    >=media-libs/audiofile-0.2.0
    perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1
            !<dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.17 )
    spell? ( >=app-text/gtkspell-2.0.2 )
    dev-libs/nss
    gnutls? ( net-libs/gnutls )
    krb4? ( app-crypt/mit-krb5 )
    silc? ( >=net-im/silc-toolkit-0.9.12-r2 )
    evo? ( mail-client/evolution )"

But, krb4 is not supplied as part of the mit-krb5 package:

+-(/usr/portage/net-im/gaim)> qpkg -l mit-krb5 | grep libkrb
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3.2
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so -> libkrb5.so.3.2 1092839818
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 -> libkrb5.so.3.2 1092839818


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge gaim


Actual Results:  
As noted in the details, it does not build.

Expected Results:  
gaim should build and install.

I've commented it out in -r5.  AFAIK aathruv said he never quite got it working anyway.

[Comment 2 Ed Davison 2004-08-24 12:20:15 UTC]

This is the header line from my gaim-0.81-r5.ebuild after doing an rsync on 24 Aug 2004 around 10am -0500 :

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-im/gaim/gaim-0.81-r5.ebuild,v 1.3 2004/08/24 15:12:48 gustavoz Exp $

And this is the depends section that is not commented out:

DEPEND=">=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0
        >=dev-libs/glib-2.0
        nas? ( >=media-libs/nas-1.4.1-r1 )
        sys-devel/gettext
        media-libs/libao
        >=media-libs/audiofile-0.2.0
        perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1
                        !<dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.17 )
        spell? ( >=app-text/gtkspell-2.0.2 )
        dev-libs/nss
        gnutls? ( net-libs/gnutls )
        krb4? ( app-crypt/mit-krb5 )
        silc? ( >=net-im/silc-toolkit-0.9.12-r2 )
        evo? ( mail-client/evolution )"

If this has been resolved and commented out, it has not made it to the mirrors yet for some reason.

[Comment 3 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-08-24 12:32:58 UTC]

Of course it hasn't made the mirrors.  I had _just_ commented it out when I closed this bug.  After committing to portage CVS I would expect AT LEAST 20-30 minutes before it gets around to mirrors, perhaps longer.

In the meantime just build with `USE="-krb4" emerge gaim`

[Comment 4 Ed Davison 2004-08-24 14:00:16 UTC]

OK, I misunderstood your comments.  Sorry; I will give it time to replicate and try again.

[Comment 5 Ed Davison 2004-08-25 08:20:24 UTC]

I have now successfully emerged gaim since your update.  Thanks again for your help and sorry for my earlier confusion.
