[gentoo-user] gaim emerge error

[gentoo-user] gaim emerge error

[John Dangler]

I just tried emerging gaim and got this error:
configure: WARNING: Could not find Tcl which is needed for the kadm5 tests
configure: error: Could not find Tcl

!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/mit-krb5-1.4.1-r2/work/krb5-1.4.1/src/config.log

!!! ERROR: app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.4.1-r2 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed

I have krb4 and tcltk set in the USE flags.

I removed the tcltk flag from make.conf

Everything seems to work ok now, except a message I got during the emerge
said to do this:
make sure to run revdep-rebuild .

What exactly does this do?

Should I still send the config.log file in as a bug? (I copied the log file
to another location since I figured /tmp... anything would get overwritten)

This is not an error in the gaim ebuild but in the app-crypt/mit-krb5 
ebuild (look at the line that says ERROR: ...) which probably got pulled 
in as a dependency of gaim.

This is the first hit when googling for revdep-rebuild, please try 
google before asking the list.

You seem to have maketest in FEATURES (have a look at the output of 
'emerge info' to see what is set through your configuration and the 
profiles). When trying to reproduce this bug, it said that the maketest 
feature had been disabled for debugging, maybe you need to do an emerge 
sync (but i use amd64, so that might be different here)?
anyways, aside from your solution, you could have also done
FEATURES="-maketest" emerge foo
too disable the maketest feature just for one merge.

Hope that helps,
Marco
