• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060906 Firefox/1.5.0.5
Build Identifier: 

yelp-2.16.1 fails to compile with the following message:

/usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_pdf_surface_create'
/usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to
`cairo_surface_set_fallback_resolution'

/usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_pdf_surface_set_size'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I had cairo-1.0.4-r1 (latest stable) installed which does not have the pdf
useflag that yelp requires. The newer >=cairo-1.2 (unstable) does have the pdf
use flag. I compiled cairo-1.2.4 with the pdf useflag and yelp compiled
successfully. My suggestion would be for yelp to require >=cairo-1.2 with pdf
use flag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use latest stable cairo (cairo-1.0.4-r1)
2. emerge yelp
Actual Results:  
/usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_pdf_surface_create'

Expected Results:  
yelp should compile

Workaround: Add cairo to portage.keywords and upgrade to newest version of cairo.

Try rebuilding gtk+, it'll probably solve this issue.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-11-10 11:21:16 UTC]

I'd have a better suggestion - don't mix unstable gtk+ with stable cairo (same for the rest of your Gnome stuff).

yelp deps on gtk+-2.10, which checks if you have compiled cairo with pdf and X use flags.

What version of gtk+ did you have installed? 

You should not have been able to emerge yelp without compiling gtk+-2.10.x which should have failed when checking for cairo compiled with X and pdf use flags.

Today I did a emerge --sync and the newer cairo is now being pulled in.

According to the gtk+-2.10.6 ebuild (which is the version i am using) it should have pulled in >=x11-libs/cairo-1.2.0 which it for some reason didn't. Perhaps this bug is due to some local problem at my computer.
Everything appears to be working now.

I'm quite new to bugzilla, should i mark this as INVALID or is that a task for someone else?

marking wfm per reporters comments.
