Description Danny Moore 2009-06-04 04:56:10 UTC

HAL-0.5.11-r8, (and possibly other versions) needs a higher version of pciutils than it pulls in as a dependency. I worked around it by updating pciutils first, but it could be fixed by changing the ebuild.
Here's as much error message as I still have saved (useless, but posted anyway).

ld: cannot find -lpci
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 ERROR: sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   48:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 3881:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake || die "make failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   make failed


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install gentoo
2.update world or emerge hal

Actual Results:  
FAIL!

Expected Results:  
hal updated

As far as I can tell libpci is installed in all versions of pciutils going back to 2.2. Unless you can provide more specific info, such as version of pciutils this failed with, we can't do much here. If you want to reopen, please attach the version of pciutils this fails with and emerge --info.
