Bug 27701 – Fix for gnome-control-panel package (prob while compiling)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Andrew Luecke 2003-09-01 05:49:33 UTC]

Gnome control panel 1.4.0.5r1 will not configure. A dependency requirement for libungif should be added, or it will will fail at configure 

The only way to see the error is cat'ing /var/log/control.../config.log, which can be a hassle for new users

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start off with a fresh copy of gentoo (installed)
2.emerge xfree (probably not relavent), might have been a emerge IMlib here too..
3.emerge xmms, and be prepared to scream at ur pc
Actual Results:  
failure during configure (says IMlib version isn't high enough, but it is.. it fails because -lungif fails

Expected Results:  
installed xmms

should be an easy fix, and I'll classify it probably as a minor severity simply because:
a) it is extremely easy to fix
b) many newbies who have just migrated distro's would wonder where the prob is

someone to confirm this ? seems odd it would need libungif

reporter can you attach the output you mention.

I cant prove it unless I uninstall many progs now (so its too late), but it fails during configure, when  compiling Imlib test-lib, which will fail because it uses -lungif as a parameter, and says it outputs the error to config.log. 

After looking in config.log, it was revealed -lungif was needed for the test program, and that was the reason behind the failure. After merging it, it worked fine..

I might add this is on an ix86 platform, stage 3 GRP install

sorry can't find references to libungif in the package, so i assume it must've been some dep of a dep on your system.

Since you can't reproduce it, closing as invalid.
