> looks like it's trying to link statically... This is an ebuild problem. If you replace use zlib && myconf="$myconf PDF_COMPRESSION=1 ZLIB=/usr/lib/libz.a" by use zlib && myconf="$myconf PDF_COMPRESSION=1 ZLIB=-lz" in lout-3.30.ebuild, even a USE="zlib" emerge lout works
then the question is, why is it there like that? I guess it was intended to be a static linkage, so changing it, makes it dynamic, also for linux.

With static linkage it seems to work, at least a "lout -?" Additionally, the recommended version of zlib is rather ancient, but the current zlib version still works. Can you check with the ebuild maintainer?
I checked that it compiles and runs on linux. - app-text is no emailable herd - there is no maintainer of the package
> I checked that it compiles and runs on linux. > - app-text is no emailable herd lout is a markup language, so perhaps it could become part of the text-markup herd?
If work is done here, perhaps also the version could be updated to lout 3.31? (released august 2005)
hehe, you're quite active on this ;) I need a knowledgable person to advise me here on how to continue. Will see if I can get some advice in the IRC channels today.
- bumped to version 3.31 - added ~ppc-macos - replaced /usr/lib/libz.a by -lz
