x11-plugins/wmcp did not compile for me with GCC 3.3, which I traced to the massive string in wmcp.c (around line 812) for the help output. GCC 3.3 does not like having a string split over so many lines. Replacing the returns with "\n" will solve the problem. Here's a patch that works (with it I installed wmcp fine): --- wmcp.c 1999-05-27 08:38:49.000000000 +0200 +++ wmcp.c 2003-09-19 10:47:19.000000000 +0200 @@ -806,39 +806,7 @@ void show_usage() { -fprintf(stderr," - -%s -This software is GPL -- do as you wish with it. - -Origional Author: - Ben Cohen <buddog@aztec.asu.edu> - -Contributors: - Thomas Nemeth <tnemeth@multimania.com> - Craig Maloney <craig@ic.net> - Gert Beumer <Gert@scintilla.utwente.nl> - - - -usage: wmcp [-g geometry] [-d dpy] [-n workspaces] [-a alt key] [-v] - [-c] [-w i/n/w] [-s y/n] [-x #] [-y #] [-h] - - --g geometry: ie: 64x64+10+10 --d dpy: Display. ie: 127.0.0.1:0.0 --n workspaces: How many buttons to start with. --a alt key: integer 1-4 defining ModXMask (default 1 Mod1Mask). --w i/n/w: Window State: Iconic, Normal, Withdrawn (default Withdrawn) --s y/n: Shaped window: yes or no (default y) --c Sends CTRL + ALT + Key (default only sends ALT + key) --v Verbose. 0=off, 1=on (default 0) --x Number of buttons on the x-direction (1,2,3, or 4) --y Number of buttons in the y-direction (1,2,3, or 4) --h Help.

christopher, can I have you either attach the patch to this bug or in an email to me, please?
added in portage.
