I need to install rosegarden which has kdebase 3.3.1 as a dependency. When doing the compile, it fails with the message: xcursor/.libs/libthemepage.a(themepage.o)(.text+0x1755): In function `ThemePage: :getThemeBaseDirs() const': : undefined reference to `XcursorLibraryPath' The compile command line looks ok, and I have verified the existence of the Xcursor .so files and everything otherwise looks fine. I am using X.org 6.8.0-r1. I have tried revdep-rebuild to no avail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge rosegarden (or emerge kdebase-3.3.1) 2. 3.

still having this problem? what's the output of # nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.a |grep XcursorLibraryPath
Yes, still having this problem. Here is the output of the command you wanted: maze ~ # nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.a |grep XcursorLibraryPath 00000000 T XcursorLibraryPath
The output is ok, so the current info does not show anything obvious here, sorry...
Yeah, I know. It's weird. Do you have any suggestions for what I could try? I am happy to provide more info. Is there some way to disable cursor themes in KDE? Could it be related to the fact that I am using X.org instead of XFree? I tried recompiling X.org but it didn't seem to help. I have gone to a lot of trouble to set up a music system around my linux box, and I really really need Rosegarden. BTW, here is my ld.so.conf: # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /usr/local/lib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/X11R6/lib /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/lib/i386/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/lib/i386/classic/ /usr/nx/lib /usr/qt/3/lib /usr/kde/3.3/lib /usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/lib /usr/qt/2/lib /usr/games/lib /usr/lib/fltk-1.1 /usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/ Thanks for your help so far.
Well, kdebase is really well-tested with xorg, so you're really hitting a corner case or some local corruption... maybe downgrading binutils to a stable version? reemerging/upgrading libtool? some other libXcursor on the system (`locate libXcursor`) just shoots in the dark...
Hm. I looked for duplicated Xcursors before, but must have fluffed it somehow. I just found a duplicate in /usr/lib that, according to qpkg, wasn't owned by any package. I have no idea how it got there, but this is a really old Gentoo box, so I guess there were lots of opportunities for corruption. Many thanks for your help and time. I deleted the duplicate and kdebase compiles now.
