[gentoo-user] xpdf bin does not exist
I have had xpdf installed for some time but haven't used it for a couple of weeks so don't really know which version caused me the problem...I now notice that the xpdf executable that used to be in /usr/bin no longer exists. I did a search through the forums and found that I wasn't alone. However, all of the solutions listed in the forums involved openmotif or the xprint use flag or both. I have followed all of their suggestions including re-emerging xorg, openmotif and xpdf in any number of combinations. The result is the sameno xpdf bin file. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can use either openmotif or lesstif and this is how you choose. Zac __ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

When I run (as root), motif-config -l, I get this [1] openmotif-2.2 * so I do (also as root) motif-config -s openmotif-2.2 and I get rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Mrm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/uil': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Xm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Mrm': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/Mrm/Mrm': File exists rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/uil': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/uil/uil': File exists rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Xm': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/Xm/Xm': File exists * /usr/bin/motif-config: New default Profile is: openmotif-2.2 after which I do USE="-nomotif" emerge xpdf and in amongs the spillage on the screen I get configure: WARNING: Couldn't find X / Motif -- you will be able to compile pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, pdftoppm, and pdfimages, but not xpdf So obviously something is not right with the openmotif install. Maybe it is this particular version of openmotif as I used to use xpdf all the time without incident. I will have to go through the emerge.log and find out when this version was installed. In the meantime, any other suggestions would be appreciated. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So does that mean that motif-config needs to be fixed? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
