I get the following error several times when trying to emerge gnome-panel on "oldlap", an ~x86 gentoo.
CCLD panel-test-applets /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-aux /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-event /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-atom collect2: ld returned 1 exit status oldlap ~ # locate xcb-aux /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-aux.pc oldlap ~ # On "ajglap", which is ~amd64, gnome panel is fine and ajglap gottlieb # locate xcb-aux /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xcb-aux.pc ajglap gottlieb # which seems to me to be the same as for "oldlap" except for the 64 vs 32 difference expected for ~amd64 vs ~x86. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, allan
