Bug 127671 – gtk+ doesn't find libX11 with FEATURES="confcache"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Raboo Treed 2006-03-26 14:07:23 UTC]

gtk+ doesn't find libX11 when following the modular xorg howto and XGL howto.
And i have x11-libs/libX11-1.0.0-r2 installed
both gtk+ 2.8.13 and 2.8.12 failes at the configure.


here is the error:
configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more details.

It depends on it. We need to find what's breaking your dependencies and pulls in virtual/x11-7.0

Please, do the following:

emerge -Ca virtual/x11
echo "virtual/x11" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
echo "=x11-base/xorg-x11-6*" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
emerge -uDpv world

Now you should see what's pulling in virtual/x11-7.0 and breaks gtk+
dependencies.

Post here and reopen then. Thanks.

I found out what was wrong, it only failed to find libX11 when using confcache FEATURE, (dev-util/confcache), I guess it's to soon to start using confcache

hmm i was told to reopen :)

Thanks for reporting back, this is a dupe. I'll reopen the original bug. confcache generally works very well, there are just a couple of issues like this one. Can be worked around by RESTRICT=confcache in those ebuilds if there's no better solution.
