No problem, so far I can understand what you are saying. :-) |

I discovered the problem: beast (and its dependency rapicorn) is written |
| 11 |
using libpng:1.2 (according to its configure file) - which is actually |
| 12 |
still in portage. The problem is, portage doesn't install the |
| 13 |
libpng12.pc file that pkgconfig needs or any other headers/include |
| 14 |
files needed during the build process. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
When I discovered this I figured I'd better roll out a virtual machine |
| 17 |
so I don't screw up my main machine. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Anyway, in the new virtual machine I figured no big deal, I changed the |
| 20 |
configure script to point to what was installed (libpng-1.6). However, |
| 21 |
between 1.2 and 1.6 there's been a lot of changes, including functions |
| 22 |
being renamed and a bunch of other stuff moved around. Until the author |
| 23 |
updates his own libraries (speaking of rapicorn mostly here) it will |
| 24 |
likely never compile on gentoo. However, it looks like on a binary |
| 25 |
distro it would compile, specifically on Ubuntu distros according to the |
| 26 |
documentation (Ubuntu appears to maintain support for older libpng builds?) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The other major issue is that pretty much all other packages in gentoo |
| 29 |
rely on libpng:1.6 so removing it and installing only libpng:1.2 is not |
| 30 |
an option. |

Thanks, I'll check that out too. At least that one is in portage already. |
