Bug 76081 – dbus-0.22-r3 failed due to missing python dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam 2004-12-29 14:38:54 UTC]

I have set dbus to use python bindings (through /etc/portage/package.use), but it fails on configure, because it cannot find pyrexc.  Here is the tail of configure:

---
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.2... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 2.3
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.3/site-packages
checking for pyrexc... no
checking for headers required to compile python extensions... found
configure: error: Building python explicitly requested, but can't build python bindings

pyrex is a dep, so for some reason it is not working properly. find out why.

[Comment 2 Adam 2004-12-30 07:54:12 UTC]

I figured out what happened.  I did a ctrl+C when I realized that dbus was about to be built, and altered my USE settings.  Then I typed emerge --resume, and apparently the new deps weren't picked up.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2005-01-01 14:19:46 UTC]

i don't think we anticipate ctl+c

[Comment 4 Adam 2005-01-01 14:24:21 UTC]

In all fairness, the build could have failed for another reason, and emerge --resume would still have the problem.
