Description Gunar Dierigen 2003-10-09 06:14:58 UTC
I want to install gnome with 'emerge gnome', after a while I get this:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2.0 gconf-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.2.0 libglade-2.0 >=
1.99.12 libbonobo-2.0 libbonoboui-2.0 libglade-2.0 gconf-2.0 gnome-desktop-2.0
>= 2.2.0... Package bonobo-activation-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search
path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `bonobo-activation-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'bonobo-activation-2.0', required by 'libbonobo', not found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2.0 gconf-2.0
libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.2.0 libglade-2.0 >= 1.99.12 libbonobo-2.0 libbonoboui-2.0
libglade-2.0 gconf-2.0 gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.2.0) not met; consider adjusting
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard
prefix so pkg-config can find them.

!!! ERROR: gnome-base/control-center-2.4.0 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed


after I install the required package, then a get this:


# emerge -k gnome
Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the gnome-base/bonobo-activation package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome
2.
3.





previously I uninstalled the gnome package with

# emerge unmerge gnome

please emerge libbonobo gnome, you most likely unmerged bonobo-activation
too early.
