pkg-config not found.

Hello,

After having left my Gentoo for more than a year, I'm trying to upgrade it. No use to say that portage wants to upgrade hundreds of packets and makes errors.
However, I get the following error message on upgrading the glib that I can't solve :

Looks good

Please install these modules first and rerun 'perl Makefile.PL'.

I did tried to reninstall the package "PkgConfig", but nothing changes.
As I have understood the glib being a dependency of PkgConfig, maybe is there some circular dependency not solved, but the fact is that I'm stuck.

Thanks for any help provided.

If your system is out of date, the first thing you should do is remove outdated non-essential packages. This allows Portage more flexibility in choosing what order to use to install components and can avoid some errors by ensuring that recent prerequisites get reinstalled in the right order.

Code: Select all

emerge -1O extutils-pkgconfig

Maybe you upgraded perl and did not successfully run percleaner --all?

Nothing worked.
Anyway, I did resume the world update with the very usefull "skipfirst" option.
It has resumed and keeps compiling. 431 packages remaining.


Thanks all for your help.
