since the same thing happens when building it yourself from a tarball i'm gonna go ahead and say the problem does not lie with Gentoo you've forgotten to post `emerge info`, and while you're at it, post the output of `qpkg -I -v sdl`

it doesn't depend on dev-perl/sdl-perl does it?
Hmmmm, no I guess it doesn't, but the ebuild was missing a depend on sdl-ttf that I added. Luke - I'm not sure how to help you. openmortal works fine for me. Perhaps it's a perl issue. Please post the output of: emerge -pv perl Also /usr/bin/perl --version Also, you might try remerging perl and then trying to merge openmortal again just to see if that works. There are only slight differences between your setup and mine so I think it should be possible to get this game working for you. On the other hand...if you've stopped caring, let me know so I can close this bug. ;-) Thanks.
WORKSFORME.
