The error message I get:

What is especially weird is that, according to my logs, this version of lam-mpi
_did_ compile correctly once. I must have rebuilt the system with slightly
different USE flags in between but, unfortuntalely, portage doesn't log the
basic info in the log files (which I will attach for differentiation)

Created an attachment (id=77461) [details]
Portage logs for one good and bad merge case

The file contains 2 logs, on working merge, the other fails, hoping that the
config information might help.

Do your changes in bug #140725 take care of this?

Nevermind, they wouldn't.

Is this an issue with torque? It provides the shared lib, so I'd guess it's
only an openpbs problem.

eh, lam can't even link against torque.

Fixed in openpbs 2.3.16-r4 in CVS.
