I just tried to update libXaw after a portage sync to v1.0.6. Actual Results: Didn't compile because of missing library. Expected Results: Should have compiled. But didn't I found a symlink for libxcb-xlib was missing. # pwd /usr/lib64 # ls -lah libxcb-xlib.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0 -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,9K 1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 Obviously the plain ".so" link was missing. I added this one (in /usr/lib64) # ln -s libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 libxcb-xlib.so # ls -lah libxcb-xlib.* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 1. Okt 13:10 libxcb-xlib.so -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0 -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5,9K 1. Okt 12:21 libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0 After that the compile ran through like it should. So i guess there has to be this link by default. Maybe someone can take care of this if other users confirm this bug.
Resolution is obvious - you didn't read (or use) the libxcb upgrade guide.
You're absolutely right. Thanks for the information. I somehow didn't know there was an upgrade guide for this lib. For anyone stumbling on this, here's the link: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml
