Bug 18593 – The package "goats" in x11-misc doesn't compile, in spite of the fact that all dependencies had been satisfied.

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

[Description Arthur Chan 2003-04-01 11:25:41 UTC]

While running the config script, the following error occurs:

================================================================================
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for libgnomeprintui-2.0 libpanelapplet-2.0 libglade-2.0... Package
libgnomeprintui-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeprintui-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnomeprintui-2.0' found
 
configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeprintui-2.0 libpanelapplet-2.0
libglade-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
 
!!! ERROR: x11-misc/goats-2.0 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
===============================================================================

My $PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable was set to /usr/lib/pkgconfig, which is btw, where
all the required .pc files for the pkg-config utility are installed.

I think the problem is that it's looking for "libgnomeprintui-2.0.pc"
specifically, whereas I have "libgnomeprintui-2.2pc."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge goats
Actual Results:  

================================================================================
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

Expected Results:  
The config script (or perhaps pkg-config) should've noticed I had
libgnomeprintui-2.2, as opposed to libgnomeprintui-2.0.  Should've used >=
checking as opposed to ==

Ok, I added a new dependency to this ebuild. Please sync your Portage tree and try merging this package again.

Note that this package needs libgnomeprintui-2.0.pc, not libgnomeprintui-2.2.pc. These are provided by two different versions of that package. One has SLOT="2" and the other SLOT="2.2". You'll probably need to have them both.

Thanks
