...so, about that config.log...
Created attachment 311481 [details] config.log Third attempt to upload, this time with "paste text to attachment".
Same problem here. Strangly ./configure works if called manualy inside the workdir
Well, config.log wasn't very helpful, but the bug lies in the ebuild. Haven't checked, but it seems that the line should have been: export ac_cv_search_delwin=$(usex unicode -lncursesw -lncurses) as ncurses is *always* required.

You're right. I've changed the value of ac_cv_search_delwin in the ebuild and now PowerTop works without any problem. Thanks!
(In reply to comment #5) Yup, that fixes it for me, too. It would be nice if this fix would make it into portage.
(In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #5) > > Yup, that fixes it for me, too. It would be nice if this fix would make it > into portage. I've made the change in comment #5 and gotten the package to emerge. However, when it runs it complains: "Failed to mount debugfs! exiting..." so I've got something wrong. When I re-emerge sys-power/powertop-1.13, it seems to run OK. So is there a dependency problem in the ebuild? Perhaps ver. 2.0 should check for a kernel .config option I don't have set properly? Since this is a ~amd64 and ~x86 ebuild, I guess not enough people are trying ver. 2.0 to cause a riot due to the failing ebuild? Clemmitt
Re the debugfs issue, powertop 2.0 requires that CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y is set in the kernel config. The ebuild should probably check for this one - other kernel options (listed in the readme) are mostly optional.
*** Bug 434096 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
+ 07 Sep 2012; Sergey Popov <pinkbyte@gentoo.org> powertop-2.1.ebuild: + Add proper unicode flag handling. Fixes bug #415535 Checked on both +unicode and -unicode. Powertop links against correct libraries in both cases.
