 Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:39 pm Post subject: Cannot emerge xorg 7.0! [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Whenever I try to emerge xorg, I get an error saying that
x11-libs/libXft (is blocking x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6)
<=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking [a whole lot of packages are blocked by this]
How can I fix this? I haven't installed any xorg yet; this is a super fresh install on a laptop using the package.keywords and package.unmask used to merge xorg 7.0. Xorg 7.0 does appear at the bottom of the list of packages it would merge.

I can't say by your info, but it could be that you've an ebuild not yet ready for modular X. Did you set
| Code: | | virtual/x11 x11-base/xorg-x11 |
in /etc/portage/profile/virtuals? This should solve this kind of blocks. Of course it's up to you to ensure that required X modules for the package are indeed there.

I'm past that problem now, actually. However, can someone help with this:
I'm emerging xorg 7.0, and linuxwacom stops building here:
configure: error: "Unable to find /usr/lib/Server/include/xf86Version.h"
EDIT:: Sorry for being so annoying, I fixed that too. |

| Code: | mkdir /usr/lib/Server
mkdir /usr/lib//include
ln -s /usr/include/xorg/xf86Version.h /usr/lib/Server//includexf86Version.h
ln -s /usr/include/xorg/xf86Version.h /usr/lib/Server//include/xf86Version.h

this is not a good solution, there probably a better but when we use masked package, these error can apear...
do this solution only if you really want to install it now |

ahhh..... tricky... I never thought about doing that....
I actually grepped until I found more info... there was a later version of linuxwacom, I think 7.2 and when I went there, the problem went away. Also, I took out the 'sdk' I had in my /etc/make.conf.
thanks
