When I emerge fwbuilder-1.0.11 with libfwbuilder 1.0.1, the file /usr/bin/fwbuilder is not built. I can find no errors in the ebuild output, however. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-lib/libfwbuilder/libfwbuilder-1.0.1.ebuild 2. emerge net-firewall/fwbuilder/fwbuilder-1.0.11.ebuild Actual Results: The library, and all parts of fwbuilder, except for the GUI, are installed.

This may be platform independant, but I do not have an x86 machine to verify on.
Marking this as major as it is not a blocking bug (i.e. it does not keep you from using your system).
It looks like it probably is a sparc (or at least non-x86) issue. Looking into it.
Ok, so it looks like the culprit is a GCC bug. What's happening is while fwbuilder is building the GUI, it segfaults on a compile. However for some odd reason this does not cause the build to fail entirely, just the GUI. So the ebuild keeps on going and installs. Failure looks like; g++ -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DPACKAGE=\"fwbuilder\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H - mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -O3 -pipe -Wall -I. -I../.. -I../../intl -DHA VE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr /include/libxml2 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-1.0/include -I/usr/include/sigc++-1.0 -I/usr /lib/gtkmm/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/includ e/gdk-pixbuf-1.0 -c ASDruidP10Dialog.cc StandardRulesDruid2.cc: In member function `void StandardRulesDruid::generateRulesForNetAndDMZProtection()': StandardRulesDruid2.cc:663: internal error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Sorry, I didn't catch that in the output. That'll teach me to read the output more carefully. Thanks for looking in to this.
Looking into this a little more, it appears that the CFLAG -O3 is a little too much for the GUI. The CFLAG -O2 works, so I've adjusted the ebuild to make this switch automatically for sparc. Wait about half an hour or so before syncing your portage tree, then try re-emerging fwbuilder.
Marked stable and closing.
