evince depends on multiple versions of poppler?

[dkostic]

Hey everybody, I'm trying to emerge evince. Evince depends on poppler and poppler-bindings. I can emerge poppler-0.5.4 and poppler-bindings-0.5.4 fine, but the latter always gets installed without gtk support, and emerge evince crashes because of this. (Somebody might be able to help me with that problem, actually! After running 'USE="gtk" emerge poppler-bindings', the command 'equery uses poppler-bindings' outputs

- - cairo (blue) : Enable support for the cairo graphics library
+ - gtk (red) : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
- - qt3 (blue) : Adds support for the Qt GUI/Application Toolkit version 3.x
- - qt4 (blue) : Adds support for the Qt GUI/Application Toolkit version 4.x

and I want that second line to read "+ + gtk (red) : ...". But that's a separate matter.)

The way I'm trying to work around this is to install versions 0.5.3 of poppler and poppler-bindings. Running 'equery depgraph evince' shows that evince depends on poppler and poppler-bindings, at least versions 0.5.3, but the ebuild says evince needs versions 0.5.4. Why this discrepancy?

equery may be looking at the wrong ebuild to build the graph. Go by the actual ebuild you want, which in this case means poppler and poppler-bindings need to be 0.5.4 or better. Try unmerging both, then re-emerging.

I've tried

emerge -C poppler-bindings && USE="gtk" emerge poppler-bindings

and it keeps building it the same way. (I'm not sure the 'USE="gtk" ' part is really necessary, because I have gtk in the USE section of make.conf.) Thanks for the reply; any other ideas?

Umm, not really. Sorry. The damn thing should be enabling gtk. If you're using the desktop profile, gtk should be enabled by default, even.
