dev-libs/aterm-2.3.1 emerges without a problem, but the binaries that are compiled/installed abort immediately if you attempt to execute them. During the emerge there are many compiler warnings about size issues. Example: "warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size" This package is marked ~alpha. Has anyone been able to get it to work on alpha? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. atdiff || atsum || atrmannos || baffle Actual Results: atdiff: aterm.c:192: ATinit: Assertion `sizeof(header_type) == sizeof(ATerm *)' failed.

Aborted baffle: aterm.c:192: ATinit: Assertion `sizeof(header_type) == sizeof(ATerm *)' failed. Aborted Expected Results: The software should not have aborted.

Filed bug upstream: http://sjofar.sen.cwi.nl:8080/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=497
ferdy p.masked dev-libs/aterm and dropped the ~alpha keyword for aterm-2.4.2 back on 21 Mar 2006. I've looked at the code and the changes needed to port this to alpha are non-trivial and best left to upstream. The upstream bug URL has changed to: http://bugzilla.sen.cwi.nl:8080/show_bug.cgi?id=497
