1 I was doing
2
3 emrge app-games/tuxracer
4
5 and got this:
6 ---
7 checking for GL library... yes
8 checking for glXGetProcAddressARB... yes
9 checking for GLU library... no
10 checking for MesaGLU library... no
11 checking for glu32 library... no
12 configure: error: Cannot find GLU library
13
14 !!! ERROR: the ./configure command did not complete successfully.!!!
15 ("./configure --datadir=/share/ --with-data-dir=/usr/share/tuxracer
16 --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu")
17 !!! Since this is a critical task, ebuild will be stopped.
18 ---
19
20 I had to install GLU library manually with
21
22 emerge media-libs/mesa-glu
23
24 Then I was also installing Pan newreader, but note, I do *not* have a Gnome
25 installation, and I got this:
26 ---
27 checking for gdk-pixbuf >= 0.10.1... configure: error: gdk-pixbuf 0.10.1 or
28 higher is needed. RPM users also need gdk-pixbuf-devel.
29
30 !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
31 !!! Function src_compile, Line 9, Exitcode 1
32 !!! (no error message)
33
34 !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/net-news/pan/pan-0.10.0.92.ebuild .
35 ---
36 as well as this:
37 ---
38 checking for libxml >= 1.8.11... configure: error: libxml 1.8.11 or higher is
39 needed. RPM users also need libxml-devel.
40
41 !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
42 !!! Function src_compile, Line 9, Exitcode 1
43 !!! (no error message)
44
45 !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/net-news/pan/pan-0.10.0.92.ebuild .

48 After doing:
49
50 emerge dev-libs/libxml
51 emerge media-libs/gdk-pixbuf
52
53 Pan installed without problems, but...
54
55 It ran OK the first time (missing Gnome foot icon in the config wizard), but
56 when I close it down, it didn't want to start up again. Instead it
57 complained like so:
58 ---
59
60 Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkContainer'
61
62 Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GtkObject'
63 ---
64 and displayed Error/segfault box.
65
66 Then I installed xchat, and that went fine. It installed a whole bunch more
67 Gnome stuff. Xchat runs OK! No problems with Xchat. So I deleted
68 .gnome/Pan and .pan/ and tried to start it again. I started up with the
69 wizard again (because I deleted its settings), and this time it had a Gnome
70 foot icon correctly displayed. I followed through, then quit and tried to
71 start pan again... And it keeps dying the same way. I am guessing there are
72 some dependencies still missing?
73
74 Now, lately I think I've received quite a few useful tips here, and I
75 wouldn't mind throwing up all the things I've learned so far (and managed to
76 remember :) on a wiki site. I mean, a real wiki site :). I think gentoo
77 could benefit a lot from an open wiki. I suggest moinmoin wiki, but anything
78 where everyone can edit pages is fine. Any thoughts on this idea? This wiki
79 wouldn't have to replace anything like real docs or your dev wiki. It would
80 run side by side.
