I tried to emerge hylafax 4.2.3 with the newest ebuild. It failed telling me that the following: #include "zlib.h" main() { if (strcmp(ZLIB_VERSION, "0.95") < 0) { /* include file version */ printf("old include files: version %u\n", ZLIB_VERSION); exit(-1); } if (strncmp(zlib_version, ZLIB_VERSION, 4) != 0) { printf("library/header file incompatibility: %s %s\n", zlib_version, ZLIB_VERSION); exit(-1); } else { exit(0); } } failed either to compile or to run. I compiled it manually (gcc -lz) and after being run it printed: library/header file incompatibility: 1.1.4 1.2.3 Let me show You which zlib versions I have root # ls -l /lib/libz* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 11 09:02 /lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64712 Dec 2 08:52 /lib/libz.so.1.2.1* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68360 Jan 11 09:02 /lib/libz.so.1.2.3* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 11 09:02 /lib/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3* root # ls -l /usr/lib/libz* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 22 12:50 /usr/lib/libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.1.4* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54416 Dec 2 08:53 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.1.4* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83840 Jan 11 09:02 /usr/lib/libz.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 291 Jan 11 09:02 /usr/lib/libz.so* (That's the state just after I unmerged and reemerged zlib, just to be sure.) By now I will try making HylaFAX compile with the newest zlib in /lib.
