galib currently has no keyword for the amd64 arch. On my amd64 box, I added sci-libs/galib ~* * to package.keywords and was able to successfully emerge the ebuild. I have run all of the examples included with the library, and have tested it with my own applications. It all works well. There seems to be no problems. Would like to have the appropriate keyword added for amd64. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
please add your emerge --info :>
As an addendum, galib has been updated to 2.4.7. The galib maintainers may want to add it. I haven't tried it yet.

Well perhaps all is not so well with this package on AMD64 after all. The problem I am having now is that I cannot compile the library with the -fPIC compiler option (the ebuild complains about it, but doesn't use CFLAGS anyway) I need the -fPIC (I think) so that I can include this lib in a .so I want to build to an application. I've had no issues with this in x86. I can link the galib into executables without any problem, it's just shared libs that fail.
Please ignore my previous comment just filed. I was changing CFLAGS, but galib uses CXXFLAGS. Hence the problem I was having. I can rebuild galib with -fPIC and have no problem linking and using .so's.
