Bug 148378 – x11-apps/xdriinfo-1.0.1: dependencies not checked properly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Abraham Marin Perez 2006-09-20 07:55:08 UTC]

When trying to merge xdriinfo-1.0.1 it will fail giving the following error message:

checking for XDRIINFO... yes
checking for library containing glXGetProcAddressARB... no
configure: error: cannot find GL library - make sure Mesa or other OpenGL package is installed
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/xdriinfo-1.0.1/work/xdriinfo-1.0.1/config.log

!!! ERROR: x11-apps/xdriinfo-1.0.1 failed.

The thing is that virtual/opengl is in DEPEND and RDEPEND lists for xdriinfo, so it should be installed prior to xdriinfo itself in case it isn't already installed. Hence, if one checks the "installation planning" and it results something like:

$ emerge -pv xdriinfo

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-apps/xdriinfo-1.0.1  USE="-debug" 0 kB 


The obvious conclusion is that virtual/opengl is already installed; now the problem is that actually it is not:

emerge -pv opengl

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I guess this has an easy workaround (manually installing virtual/opengl), but it's such a weird behaviour that I thought it worthy enough to be reported.

eselect opengl set nvidia

[Comment 4 Abraham Marin Perez 2006-09-21 00:51:16 UTC]

Er... What do you want me exactly to do? Shall I run that before merging xdriinfo? Or after? Does it mean the bug is fixed?

Just in case, here is what happens when I run it (after merging virtual/opengl and stuff):

# eselect opengl set nvidia
Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done

However, I should say that I'm not able to check whether X really works, I'm working remotely through ssh...
