 |

Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and hope my post is in order here.
I've been running an update deep world on my gentoo 2004.2 system and ran into a problem updating libxklavier from 1.03 to 1.04-r1. The configure script stopped at the following lines:
checking for setlocale... yes
checking for X... libraries , headers /usr/X11R6/include
configure: error: The path /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb does not denote the directory
!!! ERROR: x11-libs/libxklavier-1.04-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 447, Exitcode 1
Upon looking into this problem, I found that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb doesn't exist, and that xkb was not inside /usr/X11R6 at all, but was instead located at /usr/lib/X11/xkb. Further, examing the configure script, I found that it was looking for xkb in "$x_libraries/X11/xkb", where the $X_libraries translated to /usr/X11R6/lib/, so of course there was no xkb to be found.
The solution I used was to create a link in /usr/X11R6/lib, that being X11 -> /usr/lib/X11. While this did solve the problem and enable the build of libxklavier, I'm certain this is not really desirable.
Has any one else stumbled across this problem? Perhaps more importantly, is this a bug in Gentoo or x.org, or something else all together???

Same issue for me. This is certainly reproducable on ~amd64.

| On my system (x86) the files are installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 is a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. |

to be concise... |

Change this line in /usr/portage/x11-libs/libxklavier/libxklavier-1.xx-r1.ebuild
| Code: |
src_compile() {
econf --with-xkb_base=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb \
$(use_enable doc doxygen) || die
emake || die "emake failed"
}
|
To this:
| Code: |
src_compile() {
econf --with-xkb_base=/usr/lib/X11/xkb \
$(use_enable doc doxygen) || die
emake || die "emake failed"
}
|
Worked like a charm for me...kinda cool, never "hacked" an ebuild before! |

This worked for me (editing the ebuild):
| Code: |
src_compile() {
econf --with-xkb_base=/usr/lib64/X11/xkb \
$(use_enable doc doxygen) || die
emake || die "emake failed"
}

...If you're on amd64, right? |
