Actual Results: core dump Expected Results: documentation (empty or not) I guess it is related with a warning about the swig version that pyopengl gives on emerging, or even against gcc version. Still, dumping core on a request for help is not acceptable behavior.
Please review the following and reopen with a useful backtrace and emerge --info output. Thanks. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
bug 133602 already shows the behavior I'm having trouble with and it has rested unacted for half a year. I don't think I should reemerge half of my system just to have the same response at the end
