libwmf-0.2.7 changes the name of a library (namely, libwmf-0.2.so.6 becomes
libwmf-0.2.so.7) which causes ImageMagick to break. Other programs that use
libwmf might also, but I haven't seen any other breakage yet. It might be good
to symlink libwmf-0.2.so.6 to libwmf-0.2.so.7 in the ebuild.

Recompiling ImageMagick against libwmf-0.2.7 fixes this.

Comment 1 Jonathan Nall 2002-12-05 15:25:23 UTC

this is due to libwmf using the libtool flag "-release". this flag binds
anything compiled against libwmf-0.2.6 to version 0.2.6. i've written the libwmf
maintainer to see why -release is used. as best i can tell it should not be. 

i'll update this when i hear from him.

putting this on hold. portage should soon be able to address this type of problem.
