Bug 320025 – dev-libs/totem-pl-parser-2.28.3 fails to compile against media-libs/libpng-1.4.2:0 and media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r3:1.2 due to transitive dependency of x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8-r1

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 319101
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2010-05-16 18:35:26 UTC]

The dev-libs/totem-pl-parser-2.28.3 fails to detect libpng, even though media-libs/libpng-1.4.2:0 and media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r3:1.2 are installed here. The pkgconfig dependency seems to be transitively due to x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8-r1:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.6 gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 gthread-2.0 gio-2.0 >= 2.17.3 gmime-2.4) were not met:

Package libpng12 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpng12.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libpng12', required by 'cairo', 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 TOTEM_PLPARSER_CFLAGS
and TOTEM_PLPARSER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Re-merging cairo didn't solve the issue. It made configure work OK, but the linker failed:
