Bug 107926 – media-libs/giflib-4.1.3 fails to compile due to missing header file

[Description Sean Rae 2005-10-02 13:33:17 UTC]

When attempting to build media-libs/giflib-4.1.3 , it fails with an error that
it cannot find the header file 'rle.h'.  In particular,

!!! ERROR: media-libs/giflib-4.1.3 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 25, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


Note that when I run 'locate rle.h', I get:

/usr/share/doc/giflib-4.1.3-r1/html/doc/gif2rle.html
/usr/include/urt/rle.h

so it does look like I have the correct header file on the system, just perhaps
in the wrong place.
