Description pcc 2002-02-27 12:50:01 UTC 
I suspect the gnomecontrolcenter port to somehow miss a dependency to the gdk-pixbuf port. Configure fails with:

(...)
checking for GdkPixbuf library >= 0.7.0... Unknown library `gdk_pixbuf'
Unknown library `gdk_pixbuf'
configure: error: Did not find GdkPixbuf installed
(...)

configure.log then contains:

(...)
configure:8804: checking for GdkPixbuf library >= 0.7.0

and then the build fails.

This also affects ports that depend on gnomecontrolcenter (how come ;-)), like, for instance mail/evolution.

Fix: 

Workaround:

cd /usr/ports/graphics/gdk-pixbuf ; make all install ; cd -

Where to most apropiately insert the dependency I'd rather leave to a brighter soul.
How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter ; make

I'll look into this on my next upcoming build.

With a current ports tree, I see: 

guardian 12% grep controlcenter /var/db/pkg/gdk-pixbuf-0.16.0/+REQUIRED_BY  
gnomecontrolcenter-1.4.0.4_2 

So the dependency is there.  Please update your ports tree and try again.

Hi Albert and everyone else,

(I don't know why my previous mails have not made it to the audit trail so I try this one as a last resort)

First of all, thank you very much for the support and patience!

Now, I think we can mark this as closed. I have asked a friend of mine (who btw runs FreeBSD in a vmware virtual machine, most of the time) who has been able to install evolution in one single go. This must include gnomecontrolcenter with a working dependency to gdk-pixbuf. So everything, I believe, should be in perfect order.

I currently can't confirm personally at home since I have not yet set up my diskless box here (but that's another story). The box in question (not at home) seems to have a (or more) serious inconsistencies within the packages that are installed. I have tried to forcibly reinstall all packages, I rebuilt a new package data bse and did all other sorts of things to track down the problem but with no avail. Currently, it's ORBit that's not happy, and evolution still won't run, but I'm afraid that I'll have to sort that out myself.

So, thanks again for your help,

keep up the enthusiasm and good work,

best regards,

Peter.
