it's not that simple it's aproved by media-libs/id3lib-3.8.2+ (backward compatible)
try upgrade to 3.8.3 and then recompile
As I mentioned, I fixed the problem by simply re-emerging flac (so it links against libid3-3.8.so.0 now). I never touched the version of id3lib that I have (I'm using the latest gentoo stable : 3.8.0).
doesn't make any sense with topic
well I don't know what to say then. I just noticed the non-existant library problem and went through the process I detailed to reemerge flac. I installed 1.4 rc3 about 4 weeks ago, and I've just done 'emerge -u world's since then. I assume that id3lib got an update or something in that period to cause this issue since reemerging flac fixed it.
no stable update since (7 months, 3 weeks ago)
now it got an update
