Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-03-17 20:51:02 UTC
Two problems:

1) E.g. wmf2eps (which is created with libwmf) is linked to a library called
libwmf, while only a library libwmflite gets installed:

-snip-

# emerge -b libwmf
(...success...)

# wmf2eps
wmf2eps: error while loading shared libraries: libwmf-0.2.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

# ls /usr/lib/libwmf*
/usr/lib/libwmflite-0.2.so.6      /usr/lib/libwmflite.la
/usr/lib/libwmflite-0.2.so.6.0.0  /usr/lib/libwmflite.so
/usr/lib/libwmflite.a

-snap-

2) The problem above is *fixed* with libwmf-0.2.7-r1, *but* if you install
0.2.7-r1 replacing 0.2.6, the newly generated executable is linked to the *old*
libraries, which disappear during the installation. This also gives non-working
executables.

thanks for the report. 

1) Nice catch. Should be fixed now in -r2

2) This is now also resolved in -r2. i'm hoping to test this for a couple of days and mark this as stable soon.

please test and let me know whether it works for you.
