[SOLVED] Unable to upgrade emerge librsvg

I have an older Athlon64 3800+ box that used to be my LAN server. I want to experiment with internet TV so I re-connected this old box and changed it's hostname. When I first booted I got the message that the filesystem hadn't been checked for 617 days, so check was forced. The kernel was 2.6.38. I know it's better to just wipe the system and re-install but I tried update anyway. It was four days of wrestling alligators but I finally have a 3.7.10 system with a 13 series profile and everything (but firefox which is masked at version 10) updated to latest amd64 stable with one lone exception - librsvg. I struggled with profile update, portage update, kernel update, libpng and udev so I hate to quit now.

It looks like the problem is that the package is looking for cairo includes in /usr/include instead of /usr/include/cairo. I symlinked cairo.h up one level, but the next include broke the build. The useflags are the same as for my current server and I'm at a loss what to do next.

The build log is at http://pastebin.com/UfXqwDzb
The emerge info is at http://pastebin.com/b1HjyiVH

The result of 'emerge -pqv` is

If it was really nearly two years old, it's quite surprising you got this far.

Now, however, undo your symlink frenzy and pastebin a valid build log.

The cairo.h symlink should not be necessary, it would be best to remove it.

I have these versions installed:

gnome-base/librsvg-2.36.1:2
x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r3:0

If your x11-libs/cairo is older than that, then you could try upgrading it.

Or you could try checking that cairo files are ok:

My cairo is also x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r3. I ran the check, 118 out of 118 files passed.

I removed the symlink and re-emerged. The new build log is http://pastebin.com/urtkyDy2

Tony0945,

Are you compiling with gcc-4.6.3 :?:

I don't really understand it, I have gnome-base/librsvg built with the introspection use flag:

Well, just a guess, but quite awhile ago, there was a slight problem with cairo regarding introspection, that required rebuilding cairo, so that libcairo-gobject is properly built.

Edit:
Ah, right, bug 391213 it was.

Per the bug you linked " emerge -1v gobject-introspection" before emerging cairo did the trick. The problem seems to occur after glibc update which, of course, did happen on the old box after updating to gcc-4.6.3 which was one of the first things I did.

Many thanks to all. I never would have found that without you.
