I have just removed my svga use flag and "emerge -N world" picks links. It fails in the configure step. This is the stuff that looks relevant. libpng is installed and emerges without error. I will also attach the config.log checking png.h usability... yes checking png.h presence... yes checking for png.h... yes checking libpng/png.h usability... yes checking libpng/png.h presence... yes checking for libpng/png.h... yes checking for png_create_info_struct in -lpng... no configure: error: You need libpng to compile Links in graphics mode Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge www-client/links 2. 3.

Please, run revdep-rebuild first if you unmerged media-libs/svgalib, not emerge --newuse world.
That fixed it. Thanks.
Created attachment 300523 [details, diff] Manifest and patches for www-client/links-2.1_pre18-r19.ebuild I just compiled the least old version of links supporting javascript. Here are the Manifest file. BE CAREFUL, the official website has a tarball http://links.twibright.com/download/links-2.1pre18.tar.bz2 whose md5sum differ from 4e2a5b23325db1be44250ae5644d4a8c reported by http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-client/links/files/digest-links-2.1_pre18?hideattic=0&r1=1.3&r2=1.1.1.1 and http://dev.gentoo.org/~steev/files/overlays/mod-x-deps/www-client/links/files/digest-links-2.1_pre18 ...
Created attachment 300525 [details] www-client/links-2.1_pre18-r19.ebuild which compiled on up-to-date sabayon with USE="-X -jpeg zlib javascript -png" I needed a /usr/bin/screen access to Zimbra Desktop. ZDesktop has an html access with javascript, and I needed links with javascript to use it. So I updated www-client/links-2.1_pre18-r18.ebuild, naively adding the patch for GLSA 200612-16 (Links: Arbitrary Samba command execution). It compiled with USE="-X -jpeg zlib javascript -png" Before using this ebuild, please see Manifest in previous attachment, and please at least review the ebuild and the patch links-2.1pre18.GLSA.200612-16.patch that is a hand-made adaptation of http://jonas.nitro.dk/tmp/links-patches/links-2.1pre25+26.patch You may also want to know why on earth the official tarball is corrupted, the md5sum of http://links.twibright.com/download/links-2.1pre18.tar.bz2 shoud be 4e2a5b23325db1be44250ae5644d4a8c according to http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-client/links/files/digest-links-2.1_pre18?hideattic=0&r1=1.3&r2=1.1.1.1
Created attachment 326290 [details] www-client/links-2.1_pre18-r20.ebuild I had this compiling error: configure: error: conditional "am__fastdepCXX" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. So I adapted the .ebuild and added the patch. Compiled on sabayon linux, should also compile on gentoo, but with USE="-X -jpeg zlib javascript -png". This links gives read-write access to google agenda (gcal) at http://www.google.com/calendar/gpcal?hl=fr in a text window.
Created attachment 326292 [details, diff] patch for configure.in to solve issue about fastdepCXX I had this compiling error: " configure: error: conditional "am__fastdepCXX" was never defined. " " Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. " The attached patch solves this (see changes to .ebuild about eautoreconf).
Created attachment 326294 [details] Manifest (checksums) of www-client/links-2.1_pre18-r20 and its sources and its patchs. This is the refreshed Manifest.
