 Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 4:24 pm Post subject: emerge pango does not generate the libpangoxft-1.0.so?? |
 |
|
Hi, i'm using Gnome 2 and recently did an emerge world -u which updated a lot of packages including gtk+. After that, i could not log into a normal gnome session, only a failsafe session with AA text disabled.
I've read a couple of posts and tried unmerging and re-emerging pango. However now even gdm doesn't start and complains about file libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 missing. I think this file should be built when emerging pango but isn't. I get no errors, everything compile fine but the libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 file is missing. (and i mean libpangoxft* not just this file)
<rant>Is it just me or other people are having problems with recent update of gtk+? With two levels of masking (~x86 and package.mask) one would have thought that released packages would have been more tested. Everytime i do an emerge world -u i'm worried that it will break my system... and it does! I don't think that's normal. I love Gentoo (i really do) but i want a relatively stable system, i could easily live with 1 month behind current versions of softwares to have them more tested. The impatient people could just be using ~x86 and the really bleeding edge type of people with editing the package.mask file.</rant> |

| My gkrellm plugins are complaining about this, too. But I don't know a solution at the moment. |

Do not unmask the ones in package.mask and you should be fine. If you have a problem with the stable packages don't go ranting, but file a good bugreport.

You are absolutely right, i should not have unmasked anything in package.mask and that was my error. I unmasked xft 2.0 because that was needed by some package and everything was fine. However the xft2.0 broke xft (as seen in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10834) and when i did an emerge world the new versions of pango, qt and other didn't compile because of this. A re-emerge of Xfree *without* emerge xft2.0 fixed it. The comment in the package.mask was "expect things to break if you uncomment this"... well it did so i guess it worked as expected! 
Sorry for the rant... i usually find fixes for my problems without complaining but this one was a little tougher. It's true that i can't expect things to always work when i'm using KDE RC2, Wine CVS, Galeon CVS, some developpement Gnome apps and the like... again i'm sorry. |

This same problem has been bugging me for the last week, and I don't use any ~x86 packages on this machine.
several gtk+ apps wouldn't run for me anymore: gdm, gqview
anyway, the way I solved it is
which eventually failed on docbook-sgml-utils. but it recompiled a bunch of stuff first. then I was able to run
and it's compiling now. (libgnomecanvas failed compiling before looking for the bogus libpangoxft). and gqview works without being recompiled.
