Sorry is this is just a problem with my box, but I figured it may help. I was able to link libGL.so.1 to libGL.so and the emerge finished. As a side note, I only came across this problem when I was following the Gentoo GCC Upgrade Guide to update GCC from 3.4 to 4.1. I am running nvidia-drivers if that helps. i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared libglut_la-freeglut_callbacks.lo libglut_la-freeglut_cursor.lo libglut_la-freeglut_display.lo libglut_la-freeglut_ext.lo libglut_la-freeglut_font.lo libglut_la-freeglut_glutfont_definitions.lo libglut_la-freeglut_font_data.lo libglut_la-freeglut_stroke_roman.lo libglut_la-freeglut_stroke_mono_roman.lo libglut_la-freeglut_gamemode.lo libglut_la-freeglut_geometry.lo libglut_la-freeglut_init.lo libglut_la-freeglut_joystick.lo libglut_la-freeglut_main.lo libglut_la-freeglut_menu.lo libglut_la-freeglut_misc.lo libglut_la-freeglut_overlay.lo libglut_la-freeglut_state.lo libglut_la-freeglut_structure.lo libglut_la-freeglut_teapot.lo libglut_la-freeglut_videoresize.lo libglut_la-freeglut_window.lo -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib -L/usr/lib -lm /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGLU.so /usr/lib/libXext.so /usr/lib/libX11.so /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so -Wl,-soname -Wl,libglut.so.3 -o .libs/libglut.so.3.8.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libglut.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/freeglut-2.4.0/work/freeglut-2.4.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/freeglut-2.4.0/work/freeglut-2.4.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!
