the povray-2.50c ebuild check for presence of gcc 3.2 or later, but in fact it dies if version is != 3.2 I successfully compiled it with gcc 3.3, so it should be safe to change the check to "gcc version >= 3.2"
Looks like the povray ebuild needs more help than just that. It allows the use of icc, but still does gcc version checking. Seems like it should DEPEND on >=gcc-3.2 but only if not USEing icc. I think that would be better than the current gcc version checking in pkg_setup.
*** Bug 29706 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
pardon, you are discussing about this since july - there is a solution given here and the ebuild haven't changed yet? well, at least version 3.5 still contains that bug (although Markus <gentoo@jokey.tv> re-reported it more than 2 weeks ago. Only a few lines to change - why does nobody do this?
Fixed, hopefully. Sorry but since was a low priority task probably nobody had the time. Remeber that developers do not get paid and do what they do in their free time.
