The clisp package (as a prerequisite for wxmaxima) is failing during the configure stage when ncurses has been installed with the +tinfo use flag. I have tried the following versions with identical results. dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r1 dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r2 dev-lisp/clisp-2.49-r8 This is building against ncurses version sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r2 The configure fails with: configure: ** checks for libraries checking for library containing tgetent... no configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/dev-lisp/clisp-2.48-r1/work/clisp-2.48/builddir': configure: error: despite --with-readline, GNU readline was not found (try --with-libreadline-prefix) See `config.log' for more details.

The build succeeds on a different system that does not have the +tinfo flag set on the ncurses installation. Checking the contents of the libraries, it can be seen that the tgetent symbol being tested for rob@TK-421 ~ $ nm -D /lib64/libncurses.so.5.9 | grep tgetent rob@TK-421 ~ $ nm -D /lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9 | grep tgetent 0000000000014780 T _nc_tgetent_leaks 0000000000013ed0 T tgetent On the system without +tinfo, tgetent is in the ncurses shared library: rob@mrroboto ~ $ nm -D /lib64/libncurses.so.5.9 | grep tgetent 000000000002f9d0 T _nc_tgetent_leaks 000000000002f120 T tgetent Unfortunately, I need the tinfo flag set for cuda development. # required by dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-5.0.35-r3[debugger], # required by nvidia-cuda-toolkit (argument) >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r2 tinfo This may be an upstream problem as it seems that that it should be fixed at the autoconf level for the clisp source package.

same happens here: dev-lisp/clisp-2.49-r8
Fixed in 2.49-r8 (no revision bump). The additional patch that I didn't put in is: --- a/src/m4/termcap.m4 +++ b/src/m4/termcap.m4 @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ fi LIBTERMCAP="broken" INCTERMCAP="" -AC_SEARCH_LIBS(tgetent, ncurses termcap, LIBTERMCAP="") +AC_SEARCH_LIBS(tgetent, tinfo ncurses termcap, LIBTERMCAP="") if test x$termcap_prefix != x; then LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS_save if test x$LIBTERMCAP != xbroken; then since autoreconf fails horribly and I didn't want to find out why.
