folks is failing to build on my system, and I believe it is due to the configure script looking for libgee-1.0, but only 2.0 is available on my system. The ebuild specifies that folks requires <dev-libs/libgee-0.7:0, which my system has satisfied with dev-libs/libgee-0.6.7. However, that package only provides libgee.so.2.0.0.

There is a discussion about this problem on the gentoo-user mailing list right now[0]. Canek replied in that thread, "It is a legitimate bug; telepathy-glib installs a vapi file which requires the use of GLib.Bytes, which is not available in the glib-2.0.vapi file for valac 0.12. And there are no older versions of telepathy-glib in the tree." [0] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/265418
I've ran into this same issue as well, trying to build empathy up from a new system build. When I got to this point, I looked to see what was missing at this point, and neither gio nor libgee were even installed yet, so this ebuild is even missing dependencies as well.
(In reply to comment #2) > I've ran into this same issue as well, trying to build empathy up from a new > system build. Does empathy-2.34.x work with newer folks versions?
No, empathy-2.34.x doesn't work with newer folks versions. And it still exists!
Please mark this bug as confirmed so it can be fixed. It's in the stable branch...
same here, while installing net-im/empathy-2.34.0-r2. other softwares' version net-libs/telepathy-glib-0.20.1-r1 dev-libs/folks-0.4.3 the configure output looks the same as original post. == emerge

Created attachment 350232 [details, diff] Patch for folks-0.4.3_ebuild to use vala:0.16 Setting VALAC and VAPIGEN to 0.16 as proposed by Canek Peláez Valdés here: http://gentoo.2317880.n4.nabble.com/dev-libs-folks-0-4-3-fails-to-emerge-tp260869p260920.html works for me. Needed to set DEPEND to vala:0.16, too (see patch).
Fixed in cvs. Thanks for reporting and sorry for the long wait! + 07 Jun 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> folks-0.4.3.ebuild, + -folks-0.6.9.ebuild: + Build folks using >=vala-0.16 to prevent configure failure (bug #464500, + thanks to Randy Barlow). Modernize ebuild. Remove gnome-3.4 era release.
