my guess is your host env is screwing things up ... run `emerge fontforge >& log` and post the log as an attachment also, what is in /usr/local/lib/ ?
Created attachment 109503 [details] This is the output of emerge fontforge >& log
This is what is in usr/local/lib: libintl.a libvdk.so.1 libvdkcompo.so libvdkcompo.so.1.2.5 libvdk.so libvdk.so.1.2.5 libvdkcompo.so.1
well that explains it
that cruft in /usr/local/lib/ is screwing up the build
Can you tell me how I can fix the problem, please?
(In reply to comment #5) > that cruft in /usr/local/lib/ is screwing up the build it follows logically that you should delete the cruft that is screwing up your build
