Bug 137159 – gnome-panel-2.12.3 fails: undefined reference to `FAMNoExists'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Nick Rolfe 2006-06-18 04:23:46 UTC]

gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.12.3 fails to compile, with the following error: "undefined reference to `FAMNoExists'". I'm afraid I don't have the exact file on which it failed to hand, but I could probably reproduce it if necessary.

I found the reason: I had app-admin/fam.2.7.0-r4 installed. I unmerged this and emerged app-admin/gamin-0.1.7. Then gnome-panel emerged fine.

FamNoExists is gamin-specific stuff. So, you built something else with gamin and compiling gnome-panel with fam fails. Not really a bug, you should run revdep-rebuild.
