Renaming the ebuild works for me. The ebuild in bug #93211 also adds the gnutls
flag.

gkrellm-2.2.7.ebuild.diff

Cleaned up ebuild with fixes for bug #84350, bug #89135, bug #93211, bug
#102751 and bug #123097.

Patch is attachment #84532 [edit].

Other changes:
Adds a new user for gkrellmd to drop to.
Uses LDFLAGS.

nyhm,

Nice ebuild.  Do you happen to have any third-party GKrellM plugins installed
and running?  I had to remove the LDFLAGS lines from your ebuild in order for
them to load and run.  I tried adding LDFLAGS to some of the plugin ebuilds to
no avail.  Other than that, it works great.

I have fairly conservative LDFLAGS.

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

I started an eclass to make it easier to manage gkrellm plugins. Here is the
eclass and adapted ebuilds for gkrellm and all of the gkrellm2 plugins in
portage. 

Tod, I only realised that today. The Makefile(s) need patching really.

in cvs. thx

You need to replace
LINK_FLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
with
LINK_FLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-E"
or remove those lines completely or none of the plugins will work.

I can vouch for the plugins not working.  Very timely comment.  Thanks!

Hi,

i am using 2.2.9

here too, plugins dont load, i tried to recompile them (it in fact since i use
onely one :) but it doesnt change anything.

the error :
/usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/volume.so
        Erreur : /usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/volume.so: undefined symbol:
gkrellm_locale_dup_string

adding -Wl,-E to LINKS_FLAGS fix the problem.

maybe a -r1 is needed ?

Yes, the very same problem. -Wl,-E really helps, so i think -r1 is really
needed.

version have been bumped. Would you continue plugin discussion in bug #133283 ?
just to keep seperate discussions in seperate bugs ... so that you could close
this one, and plugin chat get a bug to be 'in-topic' in :)

It is 'in-topic' because it's a bug in the ebuild I attached that caused this.

In portage, closing. Everything else is a new bug.
