media-gfx/skencil is listed as a dependency for media-gfx/inkscape-0.44 When I first tried to emerge skencil, it said that I had to re-emerge python with USE="X tk". I have tried the following steps without any success: 1) Re-emerge python-2.3.5-r2 with USE="X tk" 2) emerge python-2.4.3-r4 with USE="X tk" 3) emerge -e python-2.3.5-r2 && emerge python with USE="X tk" 4) emerge -e skencil with USE="X tk" 5) emerge -e inkscape with USE="X tk" None of these work. Here's the error I get: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-gfx/skencil-0.6.17 to / * skencil-0.6.17.tar.gz MD5 ;-) ... [ ok ] * skencil-0.6.17.tar.gz RMD160 ;-) ...

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if rel evant. emerge --info is attached...at least I hope it is.
Created attachment 99256 [details] emerge --info
Is anyone working on this, or does anyone have any suggestions? -Ricardo-
Created attachment 110212 [details] build.log from skencil emerge It's been 4 months with not so much as an acknowledgement of this bug. What's going on?

(WORKSFOR)Me too! I also just got the "you need tkinter" message from skencil, re-emerged python and skencil compiles fine afterwards. dev-lang/python-2.4.4 USE="berkdb gdbm ncurses readline ssl tk -bootstrap -build -doc -ipv6 -nocxx -ucs2" 0 kB media-gfx/skencil-0.6.18_pre20070421 USE="-nls*" 0 kB
Created attachment 123414 [details] build log and emerge info I am also suffering from this - although re emerging python for me does not help. This also occurs under skencil-0.6.18_pre20070421 which is available under ~x86
Found a work around: # USE="-debug - threads" emerge -av tk tcl # USE="-doc" emerge -av python # emerge skencil I've added the necessary flags to package.use . It appears something in either the debug flag (in the case of TK) or the docs flag in python prevents Python from detecting if TK support is enabled. I don't know whether this is now a bug in the ebuild for Python or for TK. Could someone assign this appropriately?
I had the same problem and was able to track it down to a failure to build the tkinter extension due to a link error with libBLT.a (no surprise since it should be linking against libBLT.so). x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -shared -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -O2 -pipe -I. -I./Include build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/_tkinter.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.4/tkappinit.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lBLT -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4 -lX11 -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/_tkinter.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/X11R6/lib/libBLT.a(bltInit.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/X11R6/lib/libBLT.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The link error did not cause the python ebuild to fail. The problem was that I had dev-tcltk/blt installed and its ebuild does not create a symlink for its shared library, although it does create one for its static library. Manually creating the libBLT.so symlink (to libBLT24.so) in /usr/lib and re-emerging python results in a successful python build with _tkinter.so and a subsequent successful build of skencil.
*** Bug 223169 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Adding tcltk@gentoo.org to see if matsuu can help with this. Regards,
As already reported in bug #223169 (duplicate to this bug) nowadays media-gfx/skencil-0.6.18_pre20080519 may fail if python is emerged without the tk use-flag. Shouldn't skencil depend on the +tk-useflag in python in this case?
skencil nowadays asks for the tk USE flag in Python, so closing. Reopen if you disagree.
