Description Arthur Magill 2006-10-31 14:42:11 UTC

After emerging the current version of coin (2.4.5), emerging SoQt (1.0.2) fails with the following:

checking how to include gl.h... #include <GL/gl.h>
checking for coin-config... /usr/local/bin/coin-config
checking whether libCoin is available... false
configure: error: couldn't compile and link against Coin

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/SoQt-1.0.2/work/SoQt-1.0.2/config.log

!!! ERROR: media-libs/SoQt-1.0.2 failed.

  ebuild.sh, line 605:   Called econf
  ebuild.sh, line 540:   Called die

!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

I also tried emerging on a different x86 machine with Coin 2.4.4, and received the same error. Full config.log and emerge --info are available at:

SoQt 1.3.0 seems to be my latest stable.  Is that one working okay?

Sorry, I lost your first reply somewhere in the noise, my mistake.

Thanks for having a look. I still see the same error. Details at:

I've made quite an extensive system upgrade since posting the original error. I'm now using gcc4.1.1 and xorg 7.1. I tried rebuilding Coin-2.4.5, but the error remains. I also tried downloading the SoQt tar.gz from Coin3D, but that also fails at the configure stage with the same error. It looks like this is a SoQt issue rather than an ebuild issue. Would you agree?

Comment 4 Arthur Magill 2006-12-16 06:40:55 UTC

I've found it. I had an old version of Coin left over in /usr/local built from source. I removed that, and SoQt-1.3.0 now builds fine. The clue was when I ran "locate coin-config", and it appeared in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.

Thanks again for looking, and sorry for the dumb mistake.
