Description Robert Grieve 2008-09-26 07:46:18 UTC

On trying to emerge this package with 2008.0 set of deps, i have never been able to. This is after i have emerged everything else from a stage3. Due to the portage issues of dropping packages which have unsatisfied deps i am unable to emerge lots of application packages such as mozilla-firefox etc.

As i only have links2 for a browser the rest of all is in attached files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =x11-misc/notification-daemon-0.3.7
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Compile fails while generating notificationdaemon-dbus-glue.h with make error 127

Expected Results:  
The package should merge.

Since this is simple makefile-containing-a-not-found-command case, i wonder if really there is no dbus-binding-tool and the makefile needs to use the new equivilent functionality somehow. Anyway i'm struggling to emerge many apps without this.

Posted the offending make commands incase nyone can find a replacement. My system does not contain any such.

At a loss how you managed to make this error occur. dbus-binding-tool exists in /usr/bin and is installed by dev-libs/dbus-glib, which is properly in DEPEND in the notification-daemon ebuild.

So either your PATH doesn't include /usr/bin or you don't have dbus-glib installed and have instead marked it as an injected package.

Please attach the output of equery list dbus-glib and equery files dbus-glib as well as ls -la /etc/portage/*
