/usr/include/Clanlib shouldn't be a directory.  It's supposed to be a
symlink.  What does:

    ls -ld /usr/include/ClanLib

show on your system?

[Comment 2 Matt Caesar 2003-11-02 07:18:49 UTC]

root # ls -ld /usr/include/ClanLib
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          112 Nov  1 16:41 /usr/include/ClanLib

I'm starting to think I might have merged an unstable version clanlib a while
back and the Clanlib directory is a relic of an early version of the clanlib-config
script. Removing the directoy seems to produce the correct results. 

This also fixes bug #32517

what does `qpkg -f /usr/include/ClanLib` show ?
if the answer is 'only dev-games/clanlib', then please do this to fix your
clanlib installation:
emerge -C clanlib
rm -rf /usr/include/ClanLib
emerge clanlib
<emerge whatever game or dependency you were trying before>

Thanks.
Don't remember ever emerging an unstable version of ClanLib though.  Odd.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2003-11-03 21:12:31 UTC]

not quite sure what happened either but you guys should be set now

[Comment 7 Matt Caesar 2003-11-04 03:52:38 UTC]

qpkg -f /usr/include/ClanLib

>> nothing
