For some stupid reason, I had gif support disabled in my USE-flags. As a result, frozen-bubble crashed with the same error as bug #58278, from a couple of years ago. (Note: that bug was marked as INVALID because of some USE=ithreads paranoia, and apparently was never debugged properly. frozen-bubble works fine with or without ithreads, here, and the error message "Unsupported image format" seems like a dead giveaway to me.) In order to run properly, frozen-bubble requires a properly built sdl-image, with gif and png support. I'll attach a patch to add a sanity-check to the ebuild, shortly. paranoid@tweet ~ $ frozen-bubble [[ Frozen-Bubble-1.0.0 ]] http://www.frozen-bubble.org/ Copyright (c) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 Guillaume Cottenceau.

Created attachment 93014 [details, diff] sanity check: die if sdl-image was built wrongly Honestly I'd rather link the user to some HOWTO webpage telling the user to edit /etc/make.conf or add a line to /etc/portage/package.use, but this kind of simple warning seems to be how other ebuilds do it. Anyway, I tested it with all combinations of "gif" and "png" USE-flags, it only allows frozen-bubble builds when both flags were enabled in sdl-image. Mark
in portage. thanks for the bug report.
