gwave was hard masked on 31 Mar 2008. Recently (http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Feb-2008/msg00033.html) the gwave homepage was moved to sourceforge: http://gwave.sourceforge.net/. There are two versions of the program. In portage all release < 20070514 belong to the trunk version (aka gwave1) while the 20070514 release represents a snapshot of a new branch (aka gwave2). The 20070514 release was inserted in the tree because of compilation issues with guile-1.8 (#195072). Now the trunk version gwave-20080127 compiles with guile-1.8 and shouldn't crash as the experimental gwave2 version.

I've got even newer news than this. There was a more recent release sometime in february (can't remember the exact date). The reason I masked gwave is that I couldn't compile it reliably, no matter what I tried. I had a look at your ebuild and the strict dependency to x11-libs/guile-gtk-1.2.0.60 is interesting. I was under the impression that it required >=guile-gtk-2.0. That may be the reason why I had so much trouble. The funny thing is that I did succeed compiling it with >=guile-gtk-2.0 but can't remember anymore how. I'll definitely work on this as this is one of the big problems on my list, but I have a few emergencies to work on first. And since I'm soon going to be on a semi-hiatus for 3 weeks, it'll probably have to wait for me to come back. Once this is fixed I can overhaul the meta ebuild for geda-suite. Denis.

Yes, the February release is related to the gwave2 branch which is unstable. > The reason I masked gwave is that I couldn't compile it reliably, no matter > what I tried.

I haven't tried with guile-gtk-2.0 but on the web site it's specified that the dependency on x11-libs/guile-gtk-1.2.0.60 is required when compiling against guile-1.8. > I'll definitely work on this as this is one of the big problems on my list, but > I have a few emergencies to work on first.

Ok, thanks for your work!
Fixed, thanks a lot. Denis.
