Please help, I can't get XMMS re-emerged

faz

I have xmms 1.2.7-r14 installed, but it fails to run. It gives me the following error:

xmms: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I try to rebuild media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r14 the configure phase keeps complaining about the glib-config script not being found. He's right, I can't find it either. This is what it says:

checking pthread.h usability... yes
checking pthread.h presence... yes
checking for pthread.h... yes
checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

!!! ERROR: media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r14 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 193, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

I have glib 2.0.7 installed, which should satisfy >- 1.2.2

I've had troubles in the past with glibc-.2.3.1, but solved that using help from the forum. The only thing unmasked i'm running is KDE3.1rc1 en gphoto2.

Could anyone please help me, because i'm completely lost on this.

UPDATE: I just noticed these lines in the build output:

>>> Reconfiguring...
aclocal: configure.in: 56: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 32: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library
>>> Source unpacked.

Okay, now I am totally confused.

I _have_ "-gnome" in my make.conf USE from the very beginning! In fact, it's the first entry! I'm a KDE guy!

Also, the qpkg command comes up with nothing.

I used to have xmms installed and working fine. Appearently I've done something and now it has trouble finding a library and i can't re emerge it. My guess is some other package i've emrged screwed up things. But how can I find that out?

Thanks kerfamil, that sure helped a lot!!

It took a while to get things back to normal again. I emerged gtk 2.x before and, since i don't have a need for it anymore, now unmerged it again along with all installed dependant packages.

I checked the ebuild of xmms, it _does_ need gtk 1.2, no matter if you USE gnome of not. Only the gnome applet is build conditionally.

Don't know how this all came about, do. I've been having trouble with my time settings. After each reboot, my clock was 2 hours ahead. Maybe this has been causing all kinds of funny stuff.
