Bug 56084 – gtk-engines-pixmap-0.12 code is not AMD64 aware, and crashes out when detecting system type.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Joseph Carnes 2004-07-04 12:43:26 UTC]

gtk-engines-pixmap-0.12 code is not AMD64 aware, and crashes out when detecting system type.  It looks to be a problem with a guessing function inside of the tarball called ltconfig.  The URL provided shows an example of how to fix it, but I am unaware as to whether that is a good fix or bad.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Purchase an AMD64
2. Configure Gentoo
3. Try to emerge gtk-engines-pixmap
4. Scream, shout, throw things at the computer
5. Wimper and get drunk

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies ...done!

ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.

Expected Results:  
It should have compiled installed, and I could get my AquaOS stuff back :(
