libXaw fails to compile when updating from v1.0.5 to v1.0.6. The last messages are:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Don't know if this is a general problem or only depends on my setup. I just tried to update libXaw after a portage sync to v1.0.6.
Actual Results:  
Didn't compile because of missing library.

Expected Results:  
Should have compiled. But didn't

I found a symlink for libxcb-xlib was missing.

# pwd
/usr/lib64
# ls -lah libxcb-xlib.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20  1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0 -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,9K  1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0

Obviously the plain ".so" link was missing. I added this one (in /usr/lib64)

# ln -s libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 libxcb-xlib.so
# ls -lah libxcb-xlib.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20  1. Okt 13:10 libxcb-xlib.so -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20  1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0 -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,9K  1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0

After that the compile ran through like it should.
So i guess there has to be this link by default. Maybe someone can take care of this if other users confirm this bug.

Resolution is obvious - you didn't read (or use) the libxcb upgrade guide.

[Comment 2 Vaclav Adamik 2009-10-01 20:39:52 UTC]

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the information. I somehow didn't know there was an upgrade guide for this lib.
