BTW, the ebuild mentions something about gnuplot not supporting pdf, and suggests looking at the changelog. I googled the changelog, and it says nothing about pdf support being removed. The ebuild also mentions the pdfcairo terminal, but can't enable cairo, because that depends on pango, which is masked. It was removed for bug 356005 22 Feb 2011; Ulrich Mueller <ulm@gentoo.org> gnuplot-4.2.6-r1.ebuild, gnuplot-4.4.2.ebuild: Don't link against media-libs/pdflib, because it would violate clause 2.1 of the PDFLite license. Configure --without-pdf, bug 356005. Drop unnecessary x11-libs/gtk+ dependency with USE=cairo. The Gentoo Prefix team can't "fix" anything here. Finally, I've tried to downgrade using package.mask, but gnuplot-4.2.6 is the last version _in_portage_ to support pdf, but it's masked by keyword. So there's no way to downgrade to get back pdf support. Well, what about pdfcairo? That's being masked, so there's no way to enable pdf support. The problem with this is that I relied on pdf support, and now I have dozens of scripts that are broken. I can switch to emitting eps and use eps2pdf, but it's not a simple matter of modifying the scripts and Makefile. All of the graphs will now look different, so I have to redo all the line and fill styles. Massive disruption. I'm guessing that pdfcairo will be rather a hassle too for similar reasons. ok, long story short: pdf has been replaced by cairo cairo needs cairo and pango both cairo and pango should be available for your arch, if not, test and add a keyword request For some reason, x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.3 is a dependency, and it doesn't build, so I've not made a lot of progress. I reported the bug, but I'm not sure it's being looked at. To remove Qt4 as a dependency (you don't actually need it), just set USE=-qt4 for x11-libs/cairo. Thanks for the suggestion. That helped! Actually, that doesn't help. Now gnuplot segfaults. I'm going to file a separate bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 356405 *** |
