Bug 32517 – Attempt to update from Pingus 0.6.0 to 0.6.0-r1 fails on failure to locate ClanLib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description bugs 2003-11-01 22:36:37 UTC]

Attempted emerge -U world
ClanLib and Pingus were scheduled for update, both to -r1
ClanLib updated, then Pingus failed to locate in configure.
I tried updating ClanLib to 0.7.5 but Pingus again failed in configure - just as
experiment I explicitly pointed to the 0.7.5 include dir.  
./configure --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/clanlib-0.7.5/
With no more success.  Also tried pointing to 0.6.5

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to emerge -U world
2. hits pingus-0.6.0-r1
3. build fails

Actual Results:  
checking ClanLib/core.h usability... no
checking ClanLib/core.h presence... no
checking for ClanLib/core.h... no
Please get ClanLib from http://www.clanlib.org


Expected Results:  
Pingus updates

I just merged pingus successfully.  Please try this:

emerge unmerge dev-games/clanlib
emerge clanlib pingus

and see if that works out for you.

Still failing.  Following those steps resulting in new 0.7.5 and 0.6.5-r1
of clanlib.
Pingus still claims it can't find clanlib.
Some wrong over here.  Just can't figure out what...

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-11-02 23:50:44 UTC]

Interesting.  Can you post the output of emerge info please and also
attach the config.log as a text/plain file?

[Comment 6 Carsten Milkau 2003-11-03 12:00:50 UTC]

It seems that the configuration script assumes /usr/include/ClanLib to be
a symlink to the Clanlib header file directory, e.g. to /usr/include/clanlib-0.6.5.
However, this is not the case, /usr/include/ClanLib is a real directory containing
symlinks to Clanlib Header directories of different ClanLib versions.

As a quick fix, you can move /usr/include/Clanlib to another directory and
create the desired symlink before installing pingus, then restore the things
when you are done with this.

NOTE: don't forget to replace the ClanLib version by your installed version.

# cd /usr/include
# mv ClanLib .ClanLib
# ln -sf clanlib-0.6.5 ClanLib
# emerge pingus

  ... have a cup of tea ...

# rm ClanLib
# mv .ClanLib ClanLib

No.  /usr/include/ClanLib should *not* be a real directory.  If it is, you
have a stale install from a previous version of clanlib.  You should 
emerge unmerge clanlib and remerge it, making sure that /usr/include/ClanLib
becomes a symlink in the process.
