make[2]: *** [pgadmin3] Error 1
------

I'm not sure if this is an error with wxGTK, or with pgadmin3..  pgadmin3 depends on wxGTK.  wxGTK (v2.4) installs /usr/lib/libwx_gtk-2.4.so, while pgadmin3 is configured to link to /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.4.so

...After creating symlinks as follows:

ln -s /usr/lib/libwx_gtk-2.4.so /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.4.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libwx_gtk_stc-2.4.so /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2_stc-2.4.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libwx_gtk_xrc-2.4.so /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.4.so

...and running emerge --resume, the package installed successfully, and seems to be stable..

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmerge pgadmin3 and/or wxGTK from a stable AMD64
2. emerge pgadmin3




Expected Results:  
either pgadmin3 should be linking to libwx_gtk-2.4 or wxGTK should install 
(symlinks, at least) to libwx_gtk2-2.4

On my box it helped to run the following command:
> USE=-unicode USE=-gtk2 emerge wxGTK
before emerging pgadmin3.

proposed fix

This should fix the problem -- i wrapped the library substitution so it links
to different libs if gtk2 is USEd.  I don't think it will break anything else,
but a test of the patch on a system USEing gtk2 should confirm.

When trying to connect to the latest stable PostgreSQL server (8.0.1-r2), there is an error pop up in pgadmin3 which sayes that "dbpath" could not be found. I read furthermore, that only pgadmin3-1.2 has PostgreSQL 8.0 support and this version is masked and unstable in portage, because of wxGTK-2.5.

[Comment 4 Heitzso 2005-04-07 11:37:30 UTC]

for what it is worth, I had a related problem with pgadmin3
"undefined references to _gtk_accel_group_detach (and kin)


I re-emerged wxGTK followed by pgadmin3 and it
straightened itself out.  

[Comment 5 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2005-04-21 19:11:40 UTC]

I'll take a look at this after wxGTK-2.6.0 goes in portage. Their homepage says they only support 2.5.1.3, so it should be easy to get working with 2.6

Heitzso, your problem is a separate issue with newer versions of gtk. Simply re-emerging wxGTK will fix it, if you haven't already.

[Comment 6 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) 2005-05-02 19:45:33 UTC]

wxGTK-2.6 is in portage now.

Then I've changed wxGTK DEPEND from 2.5 to 2.6 and confired it's working.
So, I just unmasked pgadmin3 :)

If there are any problems, feel free to reopen this bug.

[Comment 7 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) 2005-05-02 19:54:25 UTC]

sorry, i wrote wrong bug...

but, pgadmin-1.2 and wxGTK-2.6 will fix this bug?

[Comment 8 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2005-05-02 20:12:49 UTC]

It looks like the ebuild is wrong, always passing gkt2/unicode even if they choose gtk1 (-gtk2) with USE flags. I'll test it tonight and get back with my results/fix.

[Comment 11 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) 2005-05-03 01:20:29 UTC]

Masatomo, 1.2.1 now only works with gtk2+unicode. The ebuild and patch were tested on amd64 and x86. I just updated the wxwidgets.eclass, so make sure you get it from cvs or emerge sync before trying the ebuild & patch please.

I'm not sure if the dependency for postgres is correct, but it compiles at starts fine using dev-db/postgresql-8.0.2

[Comment 12 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) 2005-05-03 06:00:29 UTC]

Thanks Rob.
I've added the ebuild to the portage tree.
