I stumbled across this as I was emergeing, testing, and unemerging Gnome 2.6-rc1 ( I know, it's masked). If I uninstall glib from my system, and then emerge glib-2.4.0, I get this error: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../glib -I../gmodule -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"GModule\" -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -pthread -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -MT gmodule.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gmodule.Tpo -c gmodule.c

ERROR: dev-libs/glib-2.4.0 failed. !!! Function einstall, Line 388, Exitcode 2 !!! einstall failed I also get this error if I have glib-1.2.x installed but not glib-2.x. Searching through the Gentoo forums, a user who was building a system from scratch (and therefore would not have an earlier version of glib-2.x installed) ran into the same problem -- see the url above. A workaround is to install an older version of glib-2.x, then upgrade to glib-2.4.0, but I think this ebuild should be able to work if no previous copy of glib-2.x exists. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: Build glib-2.4.0 even if no prior version of glib exists.
There was a bit of messup in the glib ebuild, i fixed that now. Please test if it works.
Thought I would tack onto this bug instead of opening a new one. With this new build, other packages are looking in /var/tmp/.../pkg/image for libs instead of /usr/lib. Readding elibtoolize fixes this problem, but I'm not sure if that is the proper solution since I don't know to much about it.
hmm we checked that with a couple of testers.. worked here readded it to be on the safe side
I just tried emerging glib-2.4.0 from scratch -- the current version of the ebuild does work now.
