app-emulation/open-vm-tools-0.0.20090121.142982 fails to configure with 
"configure: error: libproc not found. Please configure without procps (using --without-procps) or install procps - http://procps.sourceforge.net", but sys-process/procps is installed (3.2.6). Upgrading to sys-process/procps-3.2.7 solves this problem.

Maybe the ebuild should depend on >=sys-process/procps-3.2.7 ?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Downgrade sys-process/procps to 3.2.6
2. app-emulation/open-vm-tools-0.0.20090121.142982


Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
configure should work

See the attached files.

Comment 5 Dustin C. Hatch 2009-07-02 22:48:02 UTC

It doesn't build with 3.2.8 either. The configure script is explicitly looking for the 3.2.7 so, however everything seems to work okay with a symlink to another version. Perhaps the autoconf can be modified?

  +open-vm-tools-0.0.20090618.172495-r1.ebuild, metadata.xml:
  Fixes bugs 273211, 270433, 260878. Hardcoded procpc, Werror, general
  ebuild clean up and missing dependencies. USE flags are added: doc, fuse.
  However, vmblock-fuse still needs init script changes.
