[gentoo-user] freeglut fails to compile because X11/extensions/XInput.h not found

[covici]

Hi.  This happened on my latest update -- looks like the package which
used to contain this file no longer does -- any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks.

However the newer version of this package has eliminated this file --
this is my whole problem.    Now I re emerged the package which had an
update and how its here.  I guess portage did things in the wrong order
or something.

Thanks.

Hmm. Odd. Apparently, you are suffering from one or more of the following:

solar flares
cosmic rays
a quantum level event
leprechauns
tooth fairies
jubbjubb monsters


{well, it's as good as any other explanation :-) }

Yep, very strange, however this update went OK, except for that, so I'll
knock on my metal desk -- sorry no wood available -- to make sure
nothing goes wrong.

Sadly, no. I come from a long line of fine single malt liqueur makers but 
can't imbibe the stuff (it makes me wickedly ill even in small doses)....

In small doses its great, but I can't do too much of it either -- I save
it for Robert Burnsbirthday which is always quite fun.

Hm.  On my x86 and ~amd64 machines I have freeglut-2.4 and freeglut-2.6,
respectively, but no such header file on either machine.  Something must
be stale on your machine.  Have you run revdep-rebuild and lafilefixer?

Without detailed build logs it's hard to say who's complaining about what.
