#14592 closed defect (fixed)

gtk2 refers to libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib

Reported by: alan@… Owned by: afb@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Cc:
Port: gtk2

Description

install of gtk2 failed. i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib: No such file or directory

I had to make a symbolic link by hand: libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib -> libXrandr.2.dylib

This was on a MacBook I bought today with Mac OS X version 10.5.2.

For the record, the command to regenerate the link is:

sudo ln -s libXrandr.2.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib

I can replicate this, on a new macBook pro with 10.5.2. The workaround is good.

comment:4 Changed 16 years ago by afb@…

This problems happens when Mac OS X 10.5.2 is pre-installed.

It does not happen when it has been upgraded from 10.5.0...

comment:5 Changed 16 years ago by emailhole@…

The port appears to be looking for a specific version of libXrandr, specifically 2.0.0. However, 10.5.2 appears to have 2.1.0. A simple fix assuming that the library interface does not change is to just use libXrandr.dylib since there is a symbolic link for it to the version installed. I suspect that upgraded machines have both 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 for compatibility thus since the port looks for a specific version it works.

Suggested workaround, warn user about their missing system library. (if someone wants to track down what actually uses 2.0.0, go ahead)

Since people still seem to be finding this ticket and using the workaround: This isn't the best solution. See #17008, particularly the third comment.
