patch for gdbm-1.8.3-r4.ebuild

[Comment 2 Fabian Groffen 2011-05-03 11:00:06 UTC]

problem confirmed on vanilla FreeBSD 8.2 with Gentoo Prefix

no, this isnt the right approach: libgdbm.a should _not_ be PIC; libgdbm.so* should be and that's what gcc should find. Why dont you have libgdbm.so ?

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2011-07-06 19:27:45 UTC]

probably because libgdbm.a is in /usr/lib here

and the .so isnt ?

[Comment 6 Yuta SATOH 2012-04-21 15:22:59 UTC]

This problem no longer occurs on amd64-fbsd (9.0/8.2 both, 20120415 snapshot).
How is on prefix ?

this was probably due to a bad installation of libgdbm, either missing .so or usr ldscript.
