Yesterday I updated gmp which told me to do a revdep-rebuild on libgmp.so.3 and delete the file after that. So I did. However automake faild to run after that saying that it is unable to open libgmp.so.3. Making a symlink from libgmp.so.3 to libgmp.so.10.0.2 (latest stable) was used as a work around. I rebuild automake and deleted the symlink again, but automake started to complain about unable to open libgmp.so.3 again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run automake version 1.11.1 on a system lacking libgmp.so.3 2. See automake fail. Actual Results: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: automake-1.11.1 (or newer version) able to link against the latest/newer libgmp versions and run with that. Automake 1.10.3 might also be affected. I didn't test that one. emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.0.6-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System

automake doesn't link against anything. it's all perl code. $ scanelf -qn `qlist -e automake` <no output>
