gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.12.3 fails to compile, with the following error: "undefined reference to `FAMNoExists'". I'm afraid I don't have the exact file on which it failed to hand, but I could probably reproduce it if necessary. I found the reason: I had app-admin/fam.2.7.0-r4 installed. I unmerged this and emerged app-admin/gamin-0.1.7. Then gnome-panel emerged fine. -------------------------------------------------------------- emerge --info: Portage 2.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo- r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled ] dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 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-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shu tdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/ X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdf m/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /u sr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk http://www.mirrorservice.org/site s/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j11" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/d istfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://lightstar/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X aac alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dri dvb eds emboss encode esd flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde libg++ libwww lirc mad m atroska mikmod mmx mmxext motif mozsvg mp3 mp4 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl ogg o ggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline r eflection sdl session spell spl sse ssl tcpd theora truetype truetype-fonts type 1-fonts udev vorbis win32codecs x264 xml xmms xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc kern el_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGU AS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
FamNoExists is gamin-specific stuff. So, you built something else with gamin and compiling gnome-panel with fam fails. Not really a bug, you should run revdep-rebuild.
