there is something wrong on your system: $ whereis libattr libacl libattr: /lib/libattr.so /usr/lib/libattr.la /usr/lib/libattr.so /usr/lib/libattr.a libacl: /lib/libacl.so /usr/lib/libacl.a /usr/lib/libacl.so trying reinstalling acl and attr before recompiling gnome-vfs please.
Well, there must be something really wrong, since neither sys-apps/attr nor sys-apps/acl are installed in my system... Are they strictly required by system? Or just optional? Anyhow I'm going to install both them and try, I'll tell you then.
Right, after merging sys-apps/acl and sys-apps/attr I could install gnome-vfs properly. However, I wonder whether those packages should have been installed automaticly through internal dependencies? BTW, dunno if this is relevant, but I wasn't reinstalling gnome-vfs, it was part of a fresh install of gnome-light.
$ equery depends attr sys-apps/acl-2.2.44 (>=sys-apps/attr-2.4) sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1 (acl? sys-apps/attr) $ equery depends acl app-editors/vim-7.1.087 (acl & kernel_linux? sys-apps/acl) net-misc/rsync-2.6.9-r3 (acl & kernel_linux? sys-apps/acl) sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1 (acl? sys-apps/acl) so in short it's a dependency of coreutils if you have acl USE flag on. coreutils and rsync are system packages. That doesn't explain why you have this files you mentionned without the packages they come from. @herd if somebody could enlighten me :) it seems gnome-vfs checks for attr and acl at configure time but got tricked because you don't have the .so but there is no switch to turn it off or on. I guess we'll have to fix it and bug upstream about this.
*** Bug 194930 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
got a fix for this and the kerberos bug, need some more polish and I'll fill an upstream bug.
fix is in CVS fill free to reopen if it doesn't solve your problem.

The current 2.2.0 patch in the tree only adds the configure option but doesn't prevent ACL_LIBS from getting set, so we need another patch: jeroen@astrid /keeps/gentoo/cvs/gentoo-x86/gnome-base/gnome-vfs $ cat files/gnome-vfs-2.20.1-automagic-deps.patch --- configure.in. 2007-11-30 04:15:01.000000000 +0100 +++ configure.in 2007-11-30 04:16:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -1102,6 +1102,7 @@ AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-acl],[Don't use libacl support]), [],[enable_acl=yes]) +if test "x$enable_acl" = "xyes"; then AC_CHECK_LIB(attr,getxattr,[ACL_LIBS="$ACL_LIBS -lattr"]) AC_CHECK_LIB(acl,acl_get_file,[ACL_LIBS="$ACL_LIBS -lacl"]) AC_CHECK_LIB(sec,acl,[ACL_LIBS="$ACL_LIBS -lsec"]) @@ -1189,6 +1190,8 @@ fi AC_SUBST(ACL_LIBS) +fi + AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_POSIX_ACL, test x"$have_posix_acl_support" = x"yes") AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_SOLARIS_ACL, test x"$have_solaris_acl_support" = x"yes")
yes you are right. you can leave the AC_SUBST out of the if/fi because it's set to "" before the checks. I'll take care of this later this morning unless you beat me to it.
