I recently did an emerge -e world. So everything was refreshed again. (amd64, x86) here the install worked flawlessly. On another system (x86) that hadn't been emerge -e 'd the emerge of sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2 failed twice. once for net-analyzer/net-snmp (recompiling net-snmp) fixed that. and once for media-libs/gd (also recompiling gd) fixed that. after that nut built & works. (I can see familiar readings on a remote knutclient).
hrm, yes, after re-emerging net-snmp/gd, nut now builds fine. this is obnoxious. without an env to reproduce in, i'll have to close for now ...
