The bug must have been fixed by other changes on the livecd that were unrelated to this change. src_compile() { # Static compile of lvm2 so that the install described in the handbook works # http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml # fixes http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84463 local myconf="" use nolvmstatic || myconf="$(use_enable static_link)" The use_enable command here will *always* generate the line --disable-static_link because there is no USE-flag called static_link. The correct way to write this would be one of: if use nolvmstatic; then myconf="${myconf} --disable-static_link" else myconf="${myconf} --enable-static_link" fi or for a more advanced use_enable command: myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable !nolvmstatic static_link)" HOWEVER if you do either of these, the build actually fails in my experimentation. Personally I'd suggest yanking that stuff from the ebuild altogether, and don't forget to remove nolvmstatic from IUSE and use.local.desc (for clvm only) xmerlin@gentoo.org 2005-07-10 05:33:30 0000 clvm was created starting from the lvm ebuild and adding a couple of options, so the bug born there. I'll work on it to clean up a bit. xmerlin@gentoo.org 2005-07-14 09:58:30 0000 fixed in cvs.
