I recently uninstalled media-sound/esound. I then tried to run mail-notification (from version 5.4) and it gave the following error: mail-notification: error while loading shared libraries: libesd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I found that mail-notification has no dependency upon esound and has no esd useflag Then I tried to run emerge -v1 mail-notification. The following appeared in emerge's output: <other configure scripts running and instances of the ``package esound not found in PKG_CONFIG_PATH> checking for the GNU C library... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for GNOME... no WARNING: Package esound was not found in the pkg-config search path. WARNING: Perhaps you should add the directory containing `esound.pc' WARNING: to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable WARNING: Package 'esound', required by 'libgnome', not found ERROR: unable to find GNOME >>> Completed installing mail-notification-5.4 into /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/mail-notification-5.4/image/ >>> Creating Manifest for /usr/portage/mail-client/mail-notification >>> Done. >>> Installing mail-client/mail-notification-5.4 apparently, there is also a missing die statement in the mail-notification-5.4.ebuild. Emerge should fail when the build or emake fails. At least I get the dodoc files: ohnobinki@ohnopublishing ~ $ qlist mail-notification /usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/TODO.bz2 /usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/NEWS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/TRANSLATING.bz2 ohnobinki@ohnopublishing ~ $ I am somewhat surprised that mail-notification is marked stable :-).
Have you tried to run "lafilefixer --justfixit" and then rebuild?
Please get back to us
