Cannot upgrade samba from 2.2.8, which prevents upgrading other software to. No obvious error messages in the configure to show me why it's failing. root@oak etc # emerge -u samba Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-fs/samba-2.2.8a to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) samba-vscan-0.3.2.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) samba-2.2.8a.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking samba-vscan-0.3.2.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/samba-2.2.8a/work >>> Unpacking samba-2.2.8a.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/samba-2.2.8a/work * Applying samba-2.2.5-gp-reloc-fix.patch...

I've seen this is a duplicate, when I searched for the Bug list, looked for the error message, which wasn't included in the reports. Please junk this bug number, I can use the LDAP workround for now, but samba ebuild should do a -ldap if it's incompatible with the USE var, or it ought to work with LDAP.
it does work. something else on your system is fried.
I also get this error. Using -ldap , I was able to compile and install. Thanks for the tips.
