Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-11 16:12:59 UTC 
Symbol _MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_TRANSPARENT_LETTER@@ (64-bit UNIX System V ABI AMD x86-64 architecture) present 2 times
  /usr/lib64/libSDL_Pango.so.1.1.0
  /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/fb_c_stuff/fb_c_stuff.so

fb_c_stuff seems to contain a copy of SDL_pango source code, among other stuff.

reopen with more evidence from the tarball please.
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-11 17:45:42 UTC 
Uhm, okay, deeper look shown me that it's not actually having an internal copy (sorry, my Perl knowledge is near zero, had to ask someone how that .xs worked), it's SDL_Pango being funny, duplicating constants all over rather than either using extern or static.
Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-13 05:58:07 UTC 
I guess on this bug I'd have to say, "so what?"

I don't see a resolution to this happening any time soon so I'm pretty inclined to say, UPSTREAM and close it.

Unless you feel like providing a patch or something...
Comment 4 Tristan Heaven (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-22 17:14:46 UTC 
UPSTREAM then, if it works.
