I see messages of In function 'initialize_mousetype':: undefined reference to 'Gpm_Open' In function 'initialize_mousetype':: undefined reference to 'gpm_fd' In function '_nc_mouse_event':: undefined reference to 'Gpm_GetEvent' In function 'mouse_activate':: undefined reference to 'gpm_fd' !!! ERROR: app-text/aspell-0.50.3 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 35, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) In the forums, a workaround seems to have been discoverd: USE="-gpm" emerge ncurses aspell Which seems fine if you don't want to use the mouse in the console, but this probably should be looked into (yes, I want to use the mouse in the console). Oddly enough, it had been successfully emerged previously, and I'm now in the middle of an emerge -e world, as I changed my CFLAGS flags to be significantly less aggressive and wanted all apps built with the new CFLAGS. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" USE includes "gpm ncurses aspell"
I have the same problem, with the same type of system. CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" Tested against aspell-0.50.4.1 and aspell-0.50.5. Is this a gpm error? Also tested to downgrade gpm from 1.20.1 to gpm-1.20.0-r6, this didn't help. Any ideas?
This is caused by a bug in the ebuild. It does not include the -lgpm flag in LDFLAGS. To work around this, edit the build, and change the pkg_setup function to match: pkg_setup() { if [ ${ARCH} = "ppc" ] ; then CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fsigned-char" CFLAGS=${CXXFLAGS} fi LDFLAGS="-lgpm" }

Ideally it should be: use gpm && LDFLAGS="-lgpm" with a USE=gpm dep for gpm. We can't really check to see if ncurses was built with USE=gpm, so for now we're stuck with that little kludge. Upping severity, this'll effect a pretty large number of people.
Committed.
