I can't seem to build ORBit2 because of some weirdness with libtool. Amidst the pages of compile output, two lines like this seem to show where the problem is: libtool: link: cannot find the library '/var/tmp/portage/glib-2.0.3/image//usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' Of course, this file does not exist, but /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la does exist. Is this a problem with the libtool patch? I had the same problem with linc-0.5.0-r1, but it either righted itself when i installed glib-2.0.4, or it was fixed in linc-0.5.0-r2 (i can't be sure).
ugh, my bad, those are supposed to be masked, the mask is actually commited now.
I'm still having problems merging ORBit2, but it now doesn't seem to be your fault, Spider. ;) It keeps trying to link '/var/tmp/portage/glib-2.0.3/image//usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la', which definitely doesn't exist. I don't even have glib-2.0.3 installed. I emerged the latest libtool, but it didn't help. I even tried to install ORBit2-2.4.0 from the plain vanilla source, (with ./configure, etc.) and it still tried to link that nonexistant library. Any ideas?
grep "/var/tmp" /usr/lib/*.la See what file contains the bad path. qpkg -f /that/file then remove that package and try to reinstall it.
Yup, it was a bad build of libIDL. Rebuild fixed it all up. I'm marking this bug FIXED. Thanks Spider.
