I do not know if this is an issue with libgd or gnuplot, but gnuplot-4.0-rc1 does not have this issue so I filed it here. my package.use for gnuplot specifies gd among others. Emerging sci-visualization/gnuplot-4.2_rc1 failed to link because a symbol was missing in libgd (sorry I did not write it down, but it was something fairly obvious involving libgd and png support). I was able to add the following line to my package.use: media-libs/gd png jpeg truetype and, after emerging gd again I was able to emerge gnuplot-4.2_rc1 Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. add "sci-visualization/gnuplot gd" to package.use 2. add "sci-visualization/gnuplot-4.2_rc1" to package.unmask 3. emerge gnuplot Actual Results: gnuplot fails to link, install fails Expected Results: gnuplot is installed
Added a check in pkg_setup(), thanks for your report. It is in gnuplot 4.2.0 (still masked).
