Silly me, I was using an old patch to get rid of those Verisign problems, and I saw your comment too late to use the official ISC one. I could have looked first to see how they solved that, so I guess that's my fault. Anyway, during the installation, I got the following libraries missing: libisccfg.so.0 => not found A manual "make" showed that it came up properly after make clean, etc. Another bug: "make check" isn't run by the ebuild; it should be, and if there is an error, stop. Make check is very important to check that the build worked right, no compiler bugs, no hardware bugs while compiling, etc. Some of us have overclocked our computers, and we actually expect to run "make check" on everything to make certain there were no bugs while compiling, SW, HW, etc.. I always ran "make check", including on slow computers, for many decades (it used to be "make test", "make verify", etc. and other testing instructions in Makefiles), so I think it is important and has nothing to do with speed. After a manual "make", "make check", I do ebuild install, ebuild qmerge, and it finally worked: libisccfg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libisccfg.so.0 (0x40228000) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -f bind-9.2.3 2. ebuild ...bind-9.2.3.ebuild unpack (applied patch, but I don't think it affected those areas; I checked once.) 3. ... compile 3. ... install 3. ... qmerge Actual Results: Library missing: ulmo@A:~:12115$ ldd $(which named) liblwres.so.1 => /usr/lib/liblwres.so.1 (0x40023000) libdns.so.11 => /usr/lib/libdns.so.11 (0x40038000) libcrypto.so.0.9.6 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (0x4014d000) libisccfg.so.0 => not found libisccc.so.0 => /usr/lib/libisccc.so.0 (0x40228000) libisc.so.7 => /usr/lib/libisc.so.7 (0x40231000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4026f000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40283000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x402d3000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x403fa000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) ulmo@A:~:12116$ % Expected Results: Installed the library. It now exists after manual "make", "make check" (had to do "ebuild ... clean"; "... unpack"; patch again; "ebuild compile"; "make clean"; "make"; "make check"; "ebuild install"; "ebuild qmerge" It had an old version of named on it already that I was upgrading to be good enough to be a server (backup for my main one).
