When I start zinf, I see the following message: /usr/lib/zinf/plugins/id3v2.mdf: undefined symbol: _ZNSt11char_traitsIhE6assignEPhjh Moreover, zinfs list many tracks as unclassified, because, I think, it cannot read the tags. Googling for char_traits and id3lib,I found the a page that seems very relevant: http://www.geocities.com/robm351/uclibc/index-2.html. It says: The source file id3lib-3.8.3/include/id3/id3lib_strings.h looks like it has the definiton for the correct template, but for some reason it doesnt' find it when linking... Is gcc or libstdc++ not compiled with wchar support? #ifndef _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T #if (defined(ID3_NEED_WCHAR_TEMPLATE)) template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t>

Try to re-emerge id3lib and then emerge zinf and see if that fixes the problem. Worked for two others.
Updating from the latest stable version of zinf (2.2.0) to the latest non-stable (2.2.4) made the problem go away, although 2.2.4 seems flakey in other ways (I have twice had to delete my ~/.zinf directory to get the program to start up without crashing).
Ah, remeber this problem now. Zinf < 2.2.4 had a configure error finding id3lib and would use its own causing the error. I have a patch around somewhere I might see applying to 2.2.3 and getting moved to stable since 2.2.4 is still kinda of unstable for me unless configured just right.

new ebuilds for zinf should be heading to your local mirror shortly to fix this problem.
