Actual Results: As above: failed emerge Expected Results: Successful emerge I am not very knowledgeable about programming and may have applied one "patch" in my years of Gentoo (don't recall). So I pass on what I Googled: The problem is caused by a typo in the Makefile (only in the branch for unknown swig versions). The following patch solves the issue: diff -uNr solfege-3.16.4.old/solfege/soundcard/Makefile solfege-3.16.4/solfege/soundcard/Makefile --- solfege-3.16.4.old/solfege/soundcard/Makefile 2010-07-22 23:51:27.000000000 +0200 +++ solfege-3.16.4/solfege/soundcard/Makefile 2010-07-24 16:44:51.000000000 +0200 @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ TARGETS += solfege/soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so endif ifeq ($(SWIG_VERSION),unknown) - TARGETS += soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so + TARGETS += solfege/soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so endif endif endif The 3.16.1 soundcard makefile has this code: ifeq ($(ENABLE_OSS_SOUND),yes) ifdef SWIG ifeq ($(SWIG_VERSION),1.1) TARGETS += solfege/soundcard/solfege_c_midimodule.so endif ifeq ($(SWIG_VERSION),1.3) TARGETS += solfege/soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so endif ifeq ($(SWIG_VERSION),unknown) TARGETS += soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so endif endif endif My system uses swig-2.0.0, so it would appear the TARGETS += soundcard/_solfege_c_midi.so line of code might be the problem.
