Bugzilla Bug 188930

ojbdump -p /bin/zsh|grep NEEDED and ldd /bin/zsh claim that zsh was linked
against libzsh-4.3.4.so on FreeBSD, that file does not exist though, so when
trying to execute zsh it cries:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libzsh-4.3.4.so" not found, required by
"zsh"
this does not happen on linux (libzsh-4.3.4.so doesn't exist either, but zsh is
not linked against it)

This only happens with USE=pcre

The configure in zsh has been stripped of the [ and ] symbols

For example, in configure.ac we have this

case foo
  *-freebsd[3-9]*) ;;
esac

But autotools has changed this to

case foo
  *-freebsd3-9*) ;;
esac

So something here is baaadly broken :/

CC'ing toolchain to see if they have a clue

Created an attachment (id=128188) [edit]
Append -rdynamic to EXTRA_LDFLAGS

Until toolchain or autotools or zsh upstream fixes, here's a patch to the
ebuild to get around this issue.

ugh, no, please dont put that kind of stuff in the ebuild

what you reported is correct -- that is how the m4 language works

if you want to use [], you either need to use changequote, or cheat and double
up the [] quoting

case foo
  *-freebsd[[3-9]]*) ;;
esac

OK, I've added a fix to the tree and I'll send it upstream.

usata, I've also changed the ebuild a touch as ncurses isn't optional.
