Description:   Opened: 2005-09-09 12:57 0000 
Assorted packages, most notably evince, need a shared version of libkpathsea,
installed by tetex.  The reason that a shared version of libkpathsea isn't
installed is that tetex uses it's own libtool, rather than the standard libtool.  

Reproducible: Always

Patch to make shared libkpathsea

Here is a patch to tetex to make a shared libkpathsea by using the stock
libtool, rather than the one local to tetex.  I've tested this locally, and it
works fine, and enables evince to use the resulting shared lib.

Fixed in CVS.

Please reopen this bug, it's not completely fixed.
upgrading from tetex-3.0-r2 to tetex-3.0-r3 I've seen a strange error about
error during installation, skipping.

cd /var/log/portage && grep error 8378-tetex-3.0-r3.log

shows some lines like:
kpsewhich: error while loading shared libraries: libkpathsea.so.4: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

libkpathsea.so.4 seems to be a symlink to libkpathsea.so.4.0.0, but it seems to
be created only after the error occurred.

I'll attach the full log of this emerge.

If I reemerge tetex-3.0-r3 the error is not present because this second time
libkpathsea.so.4 is already installed in my system.
But at the first run libkpathsea.so.4 is not found.
Something like this appened with gettext-0.12 to 0.14 upgrade. The library path
should be updated in order to find libkpathsea.so.4 during the installation.
