Created attachment 659892 [details] emerge --info ./configure script in the dev-db/gqlplus package fails during emerge but it's incompletely built and installed. Here is a summarized emerged output: % emerge -v dev-db/gqlplus ... checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style) checking dependency style of x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... none checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib checking for tgetnum in -lncurses... no The required library ncurses not found - aborting. >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/gqlplus-1.16/work/gqlplus-1.16 ... >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: dev-db/gqlplus-1.16 >>> Install dev-db/gqlplus-1.16 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/gqlplus-1.16/image/ >>> Completed installing dev-db/gqlplus-1.16 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/gqlplus-1.16/image/ * Final size of build directory: 812 KiB * Final size of installed tree: 12 KiB >>> Installing (1 of 1) dev-db/gqlplus-1.16::gentoo * checking 2 files for package collisions >>> Merging dev-db/gqlplus-1.16 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gqlplus-1.16/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gqlplus-1.16/ChangeLog.bz2 >>> /usr/share/doc/gqlplus-1.16/README.bz2 >>> dev-db/gqlplus-1.16 merged. >>> Recording dev-db/gqlplus in "world" favorites file... >>> Auto-cleaning packages... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
Looks like the test it's doing for tgetnum needs -ltinfo to work (doesn't use pkg-config), and thus fails even if ncurses is installed. I'd guess been broken since USE=tinfo got profile forced on ncurses. Upstream looks pretty dead, hosted on gitlab now but no real activity. https://gitlab.com/jessp011/gqlplus
Seems it also tests tputs() in readline despite being from tinfo, and will also fail. If just want it to work until proper fix, here's a dirty hack: LIBS=-ltinfo emerge gqlplus Not that I know anything about this software, hope it works as expected.
