Trouble when emerging xorg-x11 on Gentoo

subsequent · 07-14-2006, 11:31 PM

Hello,

I have just installed and configured my first gentoo system. I wanted to install x11 and x org and per the intstructions at Gentoo's X Server Configuration HOWTO. I typed in 'emerge xorg-x11' and it started working. Now, while it was compiling, I was logged in a remote shell and emerged something else at the same time(I don't know if this has anything to do with it.)

But here is what happens when I emerge 'xorg-x11':

Code:

checking for XKBFILE... configure: error: Package requirements (x11 kbproto) were not met:

No package 'x11' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XKBFILE_CFLAGS
and XKBFILE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/libxkbfile-1.0.3/work/libxkbfile-1.0.3/config.log

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/libxkbfile-1.0.3 failed.

  ebuild.sh, line 541:   Called die

!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

This happens every time I try to emerge xorg-x11.

Thanks!

It may not have helped.
Your in the middle of a Modular Xorg upgrade.
Check this out;
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg
and;
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/deskto...ar-x-howto.xml
I would first try etc-update
then I would see what needs to be installed;
emerge --verbose --pretend xorg-x11
If you run into problems ask here;
gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org
You will need to join the list;

Good Luck

if nothing helps, try to unemerge 'kbproto' and run 'emerge -uND xorg-x11'. this should reemerge kbproto. this is the first thing i do if i meet problem like yours.

I agree with infestator, remerging kbproto may be of help. Also, are you using PKGs or just standard portage?
