+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #434506 +++ ... because ^^^ that bug is old, hibernating in CLOSED NEEDINFO, and I can not reopen. As mentioned in the other bug, configure fails to find libcap-ng in the case that: sys-apps/smartmontools has USE=static set sys-libs/libcap-ng has been compiled with USE=-static-libs Suggest changing DEPEND in smartmontools-0.6* ebuild accordingly.
Fixed on latest version + 30 Nov 2013; Markos Chandras <hwoarang@gentoo.org> smartmontools-6.2.ebuild: + Depend on libcap-ng[static-libs] if USE=static is used. Bug #481692 by Peter + Gantner +
