Few weeks ago I updated games-rpg/nwn from 1.68-r4 to 1.68-r5 and I just noticed that running nwn fails with : > $ nwn > ./nwmain: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open > shared object file: No such file or directory Running (as root) : > ln -s /opt/nwn/lib/libelf.so /opt/nwn/lib/libelf.so.1 fix the problem.

Does nwn-1.69-r1 work?
I did not test it because of this : > 02 Aug 2008; Denis Dupeyron <calchan@gentoo.org> +nwn-1.69.ebuild: > Version bump, see bug #231704. Massively simplified the ebuild since this > version supports only the english language.
Please try it with 1.69 and reopen.
(In reply to comment #3) > Please try it with 1.69 and reopen. > No. Sorry. I will not try it. The libelf.so.1 file is hardcoded in the ebuild, so I suppose that it works. But I will not reinstall 4.6G of data just to have a unplayable game because of the language. If 1.68-r5 is not maintained please remove it from the tree, otherwise please fix the ebuild. Thanks.
I tried games-rpg/nwn-1.68-r5. It worked fine for me. You might try remerging nwn on your system and see if that helps, but if it doesn't you get to keep both pieces. I can't be bothered to try to help you if you aren't willing to hold up your end of the process.
can you both run `lddtree` on the nwmain binary and post the output
(In reply to comment #6) > can you both run `lddtree` on the nwmain binary and post the output > Thanks for the suggestion. It seems that the guilty package is games-rpg/nwmouse and not the nwmain binary itself : > $ lddtree.sh /opt/nwn/nwmouse.so | grep libelf > libelf.so.1 => not found
that makes sense, thanks
I added an rdep for elfutils.
