 Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2002 6:31 pm Post subject: i failed an emerge and i'm afraid it's my fault |
 |

first of all, sorry if i make some mistakes but my english isn't perfect yet!
some minutes ago i tried to emerge an irc program, Lostirc. I failed the emerge because, i was told, the "gtkmm" libraries weren't properly installed. actually this libraries were installed, but the "emerge program" couldn't find them. i tried to unmerge and then to emerge gtkmm again, but, after unmerging, when i tried to merge them again this error appeared:
| Code: | configure: error: Libsigc++ is required to compile Gtk--. If libsigc++ was installed
but no found to be sane, most likely you have not placed the
/usr/local/lib path in the library config file and run ldconfig.
!!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtkmm-1.2.9-r2 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 11, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
|
actually, this is the same error that appeared when i tried to do an "emerge lostirc" but, of course, the problem at that time was that "gtkmm is required to compile lostirc", or something similar.
thus, i realised that mine wasn't a problem correlated to a specific library but to something else, for example to a correct path in my library config file.
the matter is that i don't have the faintiest idea about the name of this file or where to find it.
moreover: why do i say that i'm afraid it's my fault? it could just be an emerge problem...couldn't it? 2 reasons:
1) it had never done this before.
2) i hope i didn't make serious mistakes using the "etc-update". since i had 52 files to look over, i might have made some mistake in a file used by the emerge.
can anyone help me?
thank you everybody

hmm,
do you have dev-libs/libsigc++ installed?, it looks like x11-libs/gtkmm requires it, but the ebuild doesnt have it listed as a dependancy.
I dont think its your fault. probably just a bug somewhere
If you want to figure out what excactly is going on, try going
into /var/tmp/portage/gtkmm-1.2.9-r2/work/gtkmm-1.2.9/
and looking at config.log, not sure if that will help tho.
basicly, it looks like you just need to `emerge dev-libs/libsigc++` first.
hth,

first of all, thank you for answering.
actually libsigc++ was installed, but it was somehow corrupted. i knew that i had it installed, what i didn't know was that the library was corrupted. i unmerged it and then merged it again, and it worked!
