Lazarus needs to rebuild itself to install new components. It then puts a modified executable in the user dir. So lazarus emerges fine, but fails to rebuild itself. It fails to link against glib: /bin/ld: cannot find -lglib The problem here is that there's really no libglib.so, only libglib-2.0.so. Making a symlink from the later to the first solves the problem, and is my current workaround. Now, I don't know if the symlink should be there in the first place or not, but it puzzles me how lazarus can compile the first time (while emerging) but not afterwards. I believe this problem is recent, as I was able to rebuild lazarus before. Back then I was using an adapted 0.9.23 ebuild, and some months have passed since then.

Hello! To add more stuff, I've also added a component for lazarus, and while rebuild I have had similar problem with gdk_pixbuf library. Symlink /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf.so -> /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so solves the problem. IMHO it is a bug in LAzarus build system, not Gentoo. However, while using SUSE, I have always seen libraries as libXXX-2.5.so libXXX.so -> libXXX-2.5.so, so it is strange not to see such behavior in Gentoo...
Sorry, but my "fix" works only when building lazarus for GTK2 interface. When you try to build lazarus with gtk interface, ld still looks for libgdk_pixbuf, but for gtk1. apparently, it cannot find it and fails. So it appears that there are some problems with lazarus dependancies or gtk1 package.
Still valid with 0.9.28.2-r1?
I haven't used Lazarus nor Gentoo for years.. as far as I'm concerned it doesn't affect me anymore.
