scim-qtimm-0.8.5 ignores the USE flag "-arts" while configuring, so emerge fails because "-arts" USE flag, as expected, won't make scip-qtimm-0.8.5 depends on aRts installation. There is some quite similar bugs, like this one (searched: "ALL mcopidl"): * http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73075 * http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77103 * http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85421 Except this time, it's with scim-qtimm-0.8.5... I guess there is no need posting the generated config.log, as it seems the exact same problem as the other ones... They say "use_enable arts" should be changed to "use_with arts", in the ebuild (and it indeed emerges correctly, this way... I don't know much about ebuilds, though, so I don't know if it's the way to go...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-arts" emerge =scim-qtimm-0.8.5 Actual Results: [...] checking for rpath... yes checking for KDE... libraries /usr/kde/3.3/lib, headers /usr/kde/3.3/include checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... yes checking for KDE paths... defaults checking for dcopidl... /usr/kde/3.3/bin/dcopidl checking for dcopidl2cpp... /usr/kde/3.3/bin/dcopidl2cpp checking for mcopidl... not found configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found! Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use --without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove functionality). !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/scim-qtimm-0.8.5/work/scim-qtimm-0.8.5/config.log !!! ERROR: app-i18n/scim-qtimm-0.8.5 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Expected Results: scim-qtimm-0.8.5 successful emerging, without having to install aRts...
Fixed in CVS. Thanks!
