Bug 70796 – app-office/dia-0.93 failing when run with an invalid DISPLAY environment

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description kevin arnold 2004-11-11 07:31:05 UTC]

While doing an emerge world I ran into a problem with the dia emerge.  The ./configure indicated that it could not find the pygtk module because the X11 connection was rejected.  The end of the emerge output is listed below.  This failure occured because I ran the emerge from a screen session that I had established after connecting on ssh with X11 forwarding turned on.  Once I disconnected to let the emerge run, the DISPLAY environment variable was no longer valid but still in memory.  After clearing the DISPLAY variable, the emerge ran fine.  This problem should be avoidable by clearing DISPLAY in the ebuild before the configure script is run since no X connections are actually required for the pygtk detection.

...
checking for db2html... no
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking if Python version >= 1.5.2... okay
checking local Python configuration... checking for  script directory...
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
checking for  extension module directory... /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
looks good
checking for python module gtk... X11 connection rejected because of wrong
authentication.
no
configure: error: could not find pygtk module

This is a minor bug in the autoconf macro that checks for the pygtk module. Could you try the procedure you describe with dia-0.94?
