Bug 296099 – Bad ebuild for xorg-server 1.7.3

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Maxim Koltsov (RETIRED) 2009-12-07 18:01:16 UTC]

I need mesa-7.6? so i`ve unmasked xorg-server-1.7.3. I think there`s missing dependence in it`s ebuild: libXxf86mv

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.layman -a x11
2.Unmask xorg-server-1.7.3 by ~x86 keyword and some it`s dependencies
3.emerge -av xorg-server

Actual Results:  
Package xxf86vm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xxf86vm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xxf86vm', required by 'gl', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GL_CFLAGS
and GL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

No, libXxf86vm is a dependency of mesa.
What does i.e. 'pkg-config gl --libs' prints ?

I should follow it with:
does 'emerge -upvD --with-bdeps y @world' want to install anything ?

i have already emerged libXxf86vm, libXext, libXtst and libXi so i think it`s no use to do this. X works normally, but DRI don`t want to start. It`s problem with driver, not with X.org
P.S can you explain this command? i am 15 years old and am new to gentoo.
