1 Hi,
2
3 I was quite surprised when I tried to emerge media-libs/tiff (3.8.2-r6)
4 today. I got the error messages
5
6 !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
7 - sys-devel/gcc-4.4.0 (Change USE: +objc)
8 (dependency required by "media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r6" [ebuild])
9 (dependency required by "media-libs/tiff" [argument])
10
11 Indeed, I have emerged gcc-4.4.0 without objc but
12
13 gcc-config -l shows
14 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3 *
15 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.0
16
17 and gcc -v shows Gentoo 4.3.3-r2 p1.1
18
19 So, why the requirement that the inactive gcc-4.4.0 should have
20 been emerged with objc?
21
22 (I'm using portage-2.2_rc33 and had only good experiences, so far)
23
24 Thanks for enlightening me,
25 Helmut.
