Bug 38426 – Circular problem with xine-ui & xine-lib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Narada Sage 2004-01-16 10:23:03 UTC]

Hello,

I just can't install xine-ui due to complaints about xine-lib.  Errors are as below.

*** An old version of XINE (0.9.13) was found.
*** You need a version of XINE newer than 1.0.0. The latest version of
*** XINE is always available from:
***        http://xine.sourceforge.net
***
*** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
*** probably means that the wrong copy of the xine-config shell script is
*** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version
*** of XINE, but you can also set the XINE_CONFIG environment to point to the
*** correct copy of xine-config. (In this case, you will have to
*** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf
*** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))
no
configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first ***

!!! ERROR: media-video/xine-ui-0.9.22 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 339, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

 * Please note, a new version of xine-lib has been installed,
 * for library consistency you need to unmerge old versions
 * of xine-lib before merging xine-ui.
 * 
 * Please uninstall older xine libraries.
 * The compilation cannot proceed.

I've tried removing the old xine-lib but it just gets added to the updates and gets reinstalled.  So, it's a neverending problem.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As the ebuild says:

 * Please note, a new version of xine-lib has been installed,
 * for library consistency you need to unmerge old versions
 * of xine-lib before merging xine-ui.

So try to unmerge old versions first and then emerge xine-ui.

sry... read one again and saw that xine-lib is installed whenever you install xine-ui...

What is the command you want to emerge xine-ui with?

Does anyone here still have a problem or did time solve it?

[Comment 5 Narada Sage 2004-06-07 15:57:35 UTC]

Please close.
