when compiling media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.7.0 it said: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgsf-1 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [coders/svg.la] Error 1 Sure enough, libgsf was not even installed. This has to be a dependency problem IMHO. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C libgsf 2. emerge imagemagick 3. watch the fireworks Actual Results: see description supra Expected Results: compiles w/o error media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.7.0
(In reply to comment #0) > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. emerge -C libgsf > 2. emerge imagemagick > 3. watch the fireworks This is not a valid way to reproduce a problem. media-gfx/imagemagick[X,svg] depends on gnome-base/librsvg, gnome-base/librsvg[zlib] depends on gnome-extra/libgsf. If you change your USE flags, you are supposed to run emerge -NuD world, not just blindly unmerge libs.
Not according to my system, to wit: # emerge -pv imagemagick These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

You don't *want* to know what I did to create the bug in the first place! :) Anyway, it appears that that librsvg is the actual missing dependency from imagemagick, wouldn't you say?
oops, nevermind. Looks like I ran that equery depends the wrong way! I'll keep looking into it.
Ok, this makes more sense: # emerge -pv gnome-base/librsvg These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
