When I updated dev-libs/eb to version 4.4.1, app-dicts/ebview got problem and can not start up any more. I also checked the effect of the version of dev-libs/eb. After downloading from dev-libs/eb-4.4.1 to dev-libs/eb-4.2.2, ebview also can start up. Thus, probably, app-dicts/ebview-0.3.6 should include the dependency of <dev-libs/eb-4.4.1. Another solution is compiling dev-libs/eb-4.4.1 with configure option: --disable-largefile I referred the information from: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/setq/20090315/1237134392 (sorry, it's Japanese only).
emerge --info please.
