g-wrap-1.9.6-r1 (i guess this is true for other versions too) checks for libffi. If present it doesn't build it. So if one reinstalls g-wrap libffi is installed -> removed -> installed... Also alternating are: /usr/share/guile/site/srfi /usr/share/guile/site/srfi/srfi-34.scm /usr/share/guile/site/srfi/srfi-35.scm
1) Jakub has a point: If g-wrap can't use dev-libs/libffi it should probably block it. (As it's installing the same files?! Well, I haven't checked this.) But this wasn't my point. It was: 2) g-wrap has its own libffi subdir and it's built if libffi and header are not present. So if they are present they will not be rebuilt and reinstalled - and portage removes them while reinstalling g-wrap. Jakub: Any further comment on this? Want to propose a better summary?

re srfi: wouldn't it be easiest to add srfi 34 and 35 to guile?

Ok guys, thank you for your help but can you please tell me what I have to do practically so that I can install gnucash-2.0.5? Thank you for your help. Zeno
A workaround that worked for me is to uninstall g-wrap completely, and then install it. The build behaves in a fairly different way when it is already present than when it is not. IIRC this is valid for versions from years ago.
(In reply to comment #14) > A workaround that worked for me is to uninstall g-wrap completely, and then > install it. Yes, that works. It would be great if you could test Brice's fixes though.
Okay, i finally got around to testing the fixes, but the second time aruond it fails on "make libffi failed". It looks like the naive workaround won't do and configure.ac needs to be fixed up after all.
Created attachment 111624 [details] g-wrap-1.9.7-r2.ebuild I merged it many times and diffed CONTENTS, everything works for me (tm). Could you post the error ? Please find attached the exact ebuild I used (I also changed =guile-1.8 into =dev-scheme/guile-1.8 ).

Created attachment 111664 [details] g-wrap-1.9.6-r3/temp/build.log Brice, the first time it installs fine, but the second time I install it I get the attached output. I tested the 1.9.6 version since gnucash doesn't work with 1.9.7. I will test 1.9.7 now too.
1.9.7 installed fine three times in a row.
Created attachment 111741 [details] g-wrap-1.9.6-r1.ebuild Sorry, I made the patch for the latest version without thinking the previous could be usefull too. This backports the trick for dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.6-r1, I'll test it more carefully tomorrow.

Created attachment 111803 [details, diff] libffi_automagic.patch actually this patch seems to work for both 1.9.6 and 1.9.7.
fix committed. Thanks Brice and thank you Marienz :)
