[gentoo-user] Failed to emerge fontforge

[Thomas Chef]

I tried to emerge lilypond but it fails when building fontforge, with
the error below.

What do I do ?

Do I issue an bug report ?

That file is provided by cairo.

Try rebuilding x11-libs/cairo

Do I issue [a] bug report ?
In file included from fontP.h:109,
gxdrawP.h:83:32: error: cairo/cairo-xlib.h: No such file or directory

That file is provided by cairo.
Try rebuilding x11-libs/cairo

...and if that doesn't fix it I'm sure the upstream devs will be interested
to know of the problem.

Try rebuilding x11-libs/cairo

I tried:
# emerge x11-libs/cairo

Which seems to have worked out ok, then ran emerge fontforge, but it
ended up in the same error as before ?

I searched the disk for the file: cairo-xlib.h (in Konqueror) but
could not find the file ?

If you really don't have this file with cairo installed, it should be a
bug. Possible workaround is to install another version of cairo -
prehaps it was somehow omitted in your version, quite unlikely though.

to know of the problem.

I have opened a bug report, and also got a response, which I will try:
