I couldn't emerge media-libs/openal-1.7.411 because I had a version of media-libs/portaudio prior to 19 installed. I upgraded it manually when I realized that that was the problem, but shouldn't that dependency be considered in openal ebuild? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge media-libs/openal-1.7.411 with a version of portaudio lower than 19. Actually, 19_pre20071207 is the only version in portage right now, but I don't know why it didn't upgrade. Actual Results: emerge fails Expected Results: upgrade portaudio and emerge
That's odd. media-libs/openal doesn't depend on portaudio: shanghai:~ # qlist -CIve portaudio shanghai:~ # emerge -pqv media-libs/openal [ebuild N ] media-libs/openal-1.7.411 USE="alsa -debug -oss" shanghai:~ # I suppose you don't have any build.log file of the failed emerge at hand anymore which you could attach to this bug?
Unfortunately I have not the log, and I couldn't install an older version of portaudio again. But I think that only this new version of openal depends on portaudio. On its web page it is mentioned as a new feature: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html I realized I had to upgrade portaudio by looking for the error message in google, and I found a similar error in the comments of this application: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/simon+(Speech+Interaction+Daemon)?content=73815 So the log you are asking for said something like that, about some portaudio variables not being declared.
Same error here, I guess: [ 95%] Building C object CMakeFiles/openal.dir/Alc/portaudio.o /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/openal-1.7.411/work/openal-soft-1.7.411/Alc/portaudio.c:43: error: ‘Pa_GetDefaultOutputDevice’ undeclared here (not in a function) Currently, portaudio-18.1-r6 is installed on my machine. If required, I can also provide the full build.log. Upgrading to portaudio-19_pre20071207 also worked for me. I guess that the solution is to add a dependency on portaudio in the openal ebuild (there is none atm).

Fixed now by adding a USE flag to control the dep. Thanks.
