Fails on emerge. Here's the business bit: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgpm collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [file-aa] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6/work/gimp-2.8.6/plug-ins/common' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6/work/gimp-2.8.6/plug-ins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6/work/gimp-2.8.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 emake failed * ERROR: media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6::gentoo failed (compile phase): * compile failure * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_compile * environment, line 6287: Called gnome2_src_compile * environment, line 3412: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "compile failure" * The attachment contains the following: emerge --info '=media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6::gentoo' >gimpemergeinfo cat /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6/temp/build.log >> gimpemergeinfo cat /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6/temp/environment >> gimpemergeinfo

To be honest I cannot remove gpm for testing from my box easily: # sudo emerge --depclean sys-libs/gpm Calculating dependencies... done! sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r2 pulled in by: app-misc/mc-4.8.10 requires sys-libs/gpm sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r3 requires sys-libs/gpm[abi_x86_64(-)], sys-libs/gpm www-client/w3m-0.5.3-r3 requires >=sys-libs/gpm-1.19.3-r5 Is my understanding correct that - you have use flag "aalib" enabled for Gimp 2.8.6 and that - installing sys-libs/gpm solves the link error for you ? In that case I could adjust aalib? ( media-libs/aalib ) to aalib? ( media-libs/aalib sys-libs/gpm ) in the dependencies for you. Looking forward to your feedback.
Grepping for gpm does not result in any matches from gimp. Daring to close as obsolete.
