probably resolvable as a dupe of a multitude of bugs... I just want to help people catch this bug I tried reemerging vim and kvim, but that didnt' make it work. probably the same bug as uim not emerging bash-2.05b$ kvim kvim: error while loading shared libraries: kvim: undefined symbol: PL_markstack_ptr /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder is what I'm running in an attempt to fix this. revdep rebuild didn't catch it... so this might be a bug in revdep-rebuild.. in kvim, vim, or perl... or if this libperl_rebuilder works, then it appears to be a general problem with portage and I think it's supposed to be fixed in portage-ng... anyway, i don't want anybody else to have to experience this Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Here's a bit from the strace: open("/usr/qt/3/lib/libnsl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/libnsl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\0<\0\000"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=76448, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 84672, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x41445000 mmap2(0x41457000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x11) = 0x41457000 mmap2(0x41458000, 6848, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x41458000 close(3) = 0 open("/usr/kde/3.2/lib/libcrypt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/qt/3/lib/libcrypt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/kde/3.2/lib/libcrypt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/qt/3/lib/libcrypt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/libcrypt.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\300\t\0"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=19000, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 181116, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x4145a000 mmap2(0x4145f000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x4) = 0x4145f000 mmap2(0x41460000, 156540, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x41460000 close(3) = 0 open("/usr/kde/3.2/lib/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/qt/3/lib/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\300\v\0"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=11296, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 11204, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x41487000 mmap2(0x41489000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x1) = 0x41489000 close(3) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4148a000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4148b000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4148c000 writev(2, [{"kvim", 4}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"kvim", 4}, {": ", 2}, {"undefined symbol: PL_markstack_p"..., 34}, {"", 0}, {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10kvim: error while loading shared libraries: kvim: undefined symbol: PL_markstack_ptr ) = 85 exit_group(127) = ? bash-2.05b$ Actual Results: uim isn't emerging either, because of some perl XML thing ... so I think it's the perl/portage/revdep problem.

I had this problem too, there is a problem with the threads ... Just re emerge libperl & perl with USE="-threads" and then retry to emerge vim & friends :)
I think kvim was nuked out of portage because of this bug... I had forgotten that this was here... Filter the ebuild, and put kvim back in? add kde team to cc list? close the bug?
No, kvim was removed for a different reason. I'm pretty sure that this bug can be fixed by reemerging libperl, anyway.
