emerge -v '=media-sound/ams-1.8.7' fails on AMD64 with the error /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt The root problem is that ams does not use autoconf, and its default makefile does not work for gentoo AMD64. A workaround is to add this line to the ebuild in src_unpack() sed -i "s%QT_LIB_DIR=\$(QT_BASE_DIR)/lib%QT_LIB_DIR=\$(QT_BASE_DIR)/lib64/%" Makefile || die "Makefile update failed." then ams can be successfully installed with FEATURE="-strict" emerge ams I'm don't know how to write this such that it will work on all architectures. emerge info: Portage 2.1_pre3-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.1 5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244 Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre8 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabl ed] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O0" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/ config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/ mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/sha re/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/ platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O0" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.binarycompass.org http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http:// gentoo.ccccom.com" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aalib acpi aim alsa apache2 audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 crypt cups curl dga divx4linux doc dts dvd eds emboss encode exif expat fa m fbcon fftw flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif glut gmp gphoto2 gpm gstreamer g tk gtk2 gtkhtml guile idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 jack java jpeg lcms ldap libcaca libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mbox mikmod mng mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses n ls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pam_chroot pcre pda pdflib perl plotutils png python qt quicktime readline real recode samba sdl sharedmem slang sockets spell sqlite ssl sysvipc tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts ty pe1-fonts udev usb userlocales vorbis xanim xinerama xml xml2 xmms xpm xv xvid zl ib elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Also, the ebuild does not correctly install the program's data files. Changing src_install() to the following makes it work on my system: src_install() { dobin ams dodoc README THANKS #docinto examples #dodoc *.ams insinto /usr/lib/ams/instruments/ doins instruments/*.ams insinto /usr/lib/ams/demos/ doins demos/*.ams insinto /usr/lib/ams/tutorial/ doins tutorial/*.ams }
Fixed in a slightly different way. Thanks for reporting.
