Was trying to emerge app-text/texlive-2008. Had to unmask several packages using package.keywords, including dev-tex/mplib. It seems to compile just fine, but fails during the src_install phase of emerge with the following error: mkdir .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a (cd .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a && x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar x /var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/work/mplib-beta-1.110/src/texk/web2c/mpdir/./.libs/libmplib.a) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -I. -I../.. -I../../../../src/texk/kpathsea/.. -I../../../../src/texk/kpathsea -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native -Wl,-O1 -o mpost mpost.o mpxout.o ./.libs/libmplib.a ../../../texk/kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a -lm x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: ../../../texk/kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a: No such file or directory make: *** [mpost] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar cru .libs/mplib.a lmplib.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/avl.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/mp.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/psout.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/svgout.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/tfmin.o .libs/mplib.lax/libmplib.a/memio.o x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib .libs/mplib.a rm -fr .libs/mplib.lax creating mplib.la (cd .libs && rm -f mplib.la && ln -s ../mplib.la mplib.la) ^[[31;01m*^[[0m ^[[31;01m*^[[0m ERROR: dev-tex/mplib-1.110 failed. ^[[31;01m*^[[0m Call stack: ^[[31;01m*^[[0m ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_install ^[[31;01m*^[[0m environment, line 451: Called die ^[[31;01m*^[[0m The specific snippet of code: ^[[31;01m*^[[0m emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "make install failed"; ^[[31;01m*^[[0m The die message: ^[[31;01m*^[[0m make install failed ^[[31;01m*^[[0m ^[[31;01m*^[[0m If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. ^[[31;01m*^[[0m A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/build.log'. ^[[31;01m*^[[0m The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/mplib-1.110/temp/environment'. ^[[31;01m*^[[0m Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

weird; can you attach the full build log and the output of: ls -lh /usr/lib/libkpathsea* ?
I was having the same problem until I upgraded dev-tex/luatex to 0.30.3 and then upgraded dev-tex/mplib Funny thing I had to type "paludis -i1 dev-tex/mplib" (I am using paludis) to install luatex before mplib ("paludis -i1 dev-tex/luatex" required mplib to be installed first)
(In reply to comment #1) > weird; can you attach the full build log and the output of: ls -lh > /usr/lib/libkpathsea* ? reopen with the requested info
JFI: I had same problem. That was on scratched system, as I had to move time months back there and some applications failed to build due to headers having mtime somewhere in the future. After I changed mtime for glibc/gcc (with `qfile gcc | xargs -n1 touch`) and rebuild texlive-core this package compiles fine. Thus I think this error is cased by some local non-safe changes.
