Configure fails if libXxf86vm is not installed: checking for GL... configure: error: Package requirements (glproto >= 1.4.9 gl >= 7.1.0) were not met: Package xxf86vm was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xxf86vm.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'xxf86vm', required by 'gl', not found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GL_CFLAGS and GL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Ebuild doesn't have such dependency while it should. I don't know which version of libXxf86vm meets minimum requirments. I wonder whether this bug related to bug 288251.

At least on x64, the problem is sort of circular, because current libXxf86 depends on >libX11-1.3, which requires a native libXxf86vm.so file, not the 32 bit version I had installed. I emerged libXxf86 with --nodeps, let's see if libX11 emerges now.

Mesa already deps on libXxf86vm, looks like a portage 2.2 issue. Does adding --with-bdeps=y when running "emerge -DuNa world" help? @Zac, care to shed some light? Thanks
(In reply to comment #3) > Does adding --with-bdeps=y when running "emerge -DuNa world" help? Yes, it does. And I could see [ebuild N ] x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1.0 USE="-debug" 0 kB even without --with-bdeps=y. Is it because Mesa depends on it, and xorg-server depends on Mesa?

Well, I'm not sure why portage didn't pick up the dep on libXxf86vm since mesa properly deps on it... But in case you used some other tricks, you should always update your system with --deep (-D) and --with-bdeps=y (that's for portage 2.2) Thanks
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/ati-migration-guide.xml This is what i wrote for people interested in migration. Well 3D will be around kernel-2.6.32. Mesa is prepared already :]
Damn :P wrong bug. Ignore last comment
Maybe it's a case of bug 199856. It seems like somebody must have uninstalled libXxf86vm from your system, since mesa couldn't have been installed without it in the first place. You need to use --deep if you want to ensure that emerge accounts for dependencies of installed packages (especially if you've removed random required packages such as libXxf86vm). The safe way to to uninstall packages is to use emerge --depclean <atom>, which checks for reverse dependencies before removing anything.
