Bug 273240 – sci-electronics/balsa-3.5 configure fails if dev-libs/glib-1.2.x is not installed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Iwan Aucamp 2009-06-08 19:02:10 UTC]

This can be worked around by manually pulling in dev-libs/glib-1.2.x

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure dev-libs/glib-1.2.x is not installed
2. Try to emerge sci-electronics/balsa-3.5


Actual Results:  
fails on configure

Expected Results:  
configure should pass, should work
