Thank you for your report, I apologize for the delay, the bug seems quite simple
- clearly we can't use pkg-config if the package is not installed. I have queued
a build that should fix this here:

This bugreport will be automatically closed once the update hits the F-8 repo,
if it does not fix your issue please reopen.

gnome-do-0.3.1-2.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

Hi David,

thks for the fix, will try it as soon as I can (at work now). I'll report any
remaining problems back here.

please open new bug reports for new problems, it's easier for me to track that way.

Sure. By "any remaining problems" I meant any remaining problems related to this
bug ;-)

gnome-do-0.3.1-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gnome-do'.  You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-2028

Doesn't seem to do the trick.

can you give me the output from rpm -q pkgconfig ?

Also if you could try the build here. I fixed a few more libdir bugs.

No luck with the new build.

Looking at /usr/bin/gnome-do, I see that it still does the same thing, doing
pkg-config against tomboy-addins. Here's what that does for me:

icon@mini:[~]$ TOMBOY_LIB=`pkg-config --variable=libdir tomboy-addins`/tomboy
icon@mini:[~]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$TOMBOY_LIB
icon@mini:[~]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
:/tomboy

What concerns me here is that this appears to be a real problem but I can't
reproduce it on my machines nor can anyone I normally turn to. All the
dependencies are worked out, the default install here provides the correct
information.. and yet it works for me but not for you.

TOMBOY_LIB=`pkg-config --variable=libdir tomboy-addins`/tomboy
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$TOMBOY_LIB
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

outputs:
:/usr/lib64/tomboy

Can you attach /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/tomboy-addins.pc ?

Hi David,

here's what appears on my computer:

~ echo `pkg-config --variable=libdir tomboy-addins`/tomboy
/tomboy

~ cat /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/tomboy-addins.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib64
addinsdir=/usr/lib64/tomboy/addins

Name: Tomboy Addin Library
Description: Library providing the interfaces for Tomboy addins
Requires: gtk-sharp-2.0
Version: 0.8.2

HTH

boggles the mind, the libdir variable is set to /usr/lib64 but returns void.

can you try pkg-config --variable=libdir for a few other .pc files in /usr/lib64
and check that they also return incorrectly. This seems more and more like
pkgconfig has a naughty naughty bug.. 

I executed this:

for f in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/*.pc; do lib=$(pkg-config --variable=libdir $f);
test -z "$lib" && echo $f; done

and here are the files for which pkc-config returns an empty string:

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/banshee.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gnome-python-desktop-2.0.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gnome-python-extras-2.0.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gst-python-0.10.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/librpcsecgss.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/notify-python.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/pycairo.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/tomboy-addins.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/x11-xcb.pc

BTW I have 167 .pc files on /usr/lib64/pkgconfig, all the others return
something (even though it's not always '/usr/lib64')

HTH

gnome-do relies on pkg-config returning correctly, this doesn't smell like my
bug, I'm reassigning this to pkgconfig.

and add myself as cc

The problem you see is most likely that you need to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig

But it is categorically wrong to use pkg-config in a script like that.
pkg-config is a build tool, not a runtime configuration tool.

Also, I'm quite dubious about using libtomboy for global keybindings, but that
is another story.

yeah I tried talking to upstream about that, they are entirely new to the Linux
way of doing things so there is a lot of stuff they have to learn.. they'll get
there eventually.

back to gnome-do. I bumped to 0.4.0.1 which contains many fixes and would love
some testing, my main machine is down for the count with a rawhide X meltdown so
I haven't queued it in the updates system yet but you can find it here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=44235

Re-assigning back to gnome-do.

David, your 0.4.0.1 build seems to fix this issue for me. After upgrading to the
Koji-built package and rebooting, the Win+Space hotkey (default) works nicely
again, and GNOME Do does as it should. =)

Would you please push this as an update through Bodhi?
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates Thanks!
