I tried updating Showimg and it died with the following: [ebuild U ] media-gfx/showimg-0.9.5 [0.9.4.1] USE="arts exif%* kipi%* xinerama -debug -mysql% -postgres% (-kdeenablefinal%)" 0 kB ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-showimgdb --enable-kexif --enable-libkipi --without-mysql --without-pgsql --with-x --enable-mitshm --with-xinerama --with-qt-dir=/usr/qt/3 --enable-mt --with-qt-libraries=/usr/qt/3/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-debug --without-debug --with-arts --with-extra-includes=/usr/kde/3.5/include --with-extra-libs=/usr/kde/3.5/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu ------ kipi plugin support for ShowImg: yes libkexif support for ShowImg: yes (0.2) kexidb/showimgdb support for ShowImg: yes Installation direcory is /usr + The PostgreSQL C-API (libpq) headers were not found. + The PostgreSQL C-API (libpq) libraries were not found.

Never mind. Please mark invalid. A second try at merging worked fine. It might have been my CFLAG setting, or distcc. Don't know, but the second time around worked without any changes. The PostgreSQL warning was a false lead. The configure script checks for PostgreSQL, ignoring --without-pgsql. It does the same with MySQL. It should probably be reported to the showimg team as a bug, but it doesn't stop compilation.
If it's not reproducible it could be a hardware problem (memory, cpu, etc.). Closing by request.
