Description Alex 2003-09-17 13:01:55 UTC
I tried installing "xscreensaver" and it correctly said it was also going to
install "gle", but it wouldnt compile, i then emerged "glut" and "gle" compiled fine

the versions concerned are :-

media-libs/glut-3.7.1
media-libs/gle-3.0.1-r2
x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.13

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure xscreensaver, gle and glut are NOT installed
2. try to emerge xscreensaver.. it will also try to compile gle
3. gle will fail to compile since glut is not installed



Expected Results:  
the dependancy on glut should be noticed, and it should also be emerged before gle

virtual/glut is listed as a dependency in gle already
