configure fails with: ========= checking for FLAC__stream_decoder_skip_single_frame in -lFLAC... yes checking for pcre-config... /usr/bin/pcre-config checking for libpcrecpp... no configure: error: Could not find the PCRE C++ library !!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org: !!! /tmp/portage/media-video/mkvtoolnix-1.8.1/work/mkvtoolnix-1.8.1/config.log !!! ERROR: media-video/mkvtoolnix-1.8.1 failed. ============ while i have dev-libs/libpcre correctly installed. Looking in the config.log, i can read /usr/include/pcre_stringpiece.h:50:30: error: bits/type_traits.h: No such file or directory using locate i can see : /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/include/g++-v3/bits/type_traits.h /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/include/g++-v3/bits/cpp_type_traits.h /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3/include/g++-v4/bits/cpp_type_traits.h and i'm using gcc 4.0.3 i dont really know how to fix this.. Reproducible: Always
note : re-emerging libpcre fixed it. I dont understand why.. but it does.
