• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description MATSUI Tetsushi 2011-05-21 11:57:22 UTC]

Thank you for the fix of the other bug I reported, but
app-text/ghostscript-9.02 failed to compile with some undefined symbols on ~x86-macos.

The last part of log:

So, you can stop this error with passing -lfreetype (FT_LIBS in Makefile), 
though I don't know the right way exactly how.
You can emerge ghostscript-9.02 without this problem at least on amd64 linux environment,
thus it seems it's macos specific.

Thanks!  Darwin's linker is just more strict.

I already had the problem encountered myself.  I just checked in the fix.
