emerge lftp fails, because the *.a file is missing. But *.la file exists on my machine. Is that my fault?
what build of gcc are you running? I have emerged on the latest builds of gcc- 3.1 and gcc-3.1.1 in portage without a problem.
are you using the newest gcc 3.1? See bug 3890 (it's resolved fixed) and see if that helps.
I have just compiled and installed lftp on both and a gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.1-r7 system without any problems. If you can send me any logs, what version of gcc you are using, and what revision of lftp you are trying to build, then I can help your further.
I just emerge lftp-2.5.4-r1 again without a problem on the newest gcc-3.1.1-r1. I will be adding lftp-2.6.0 later today.
lftp-2.6.0 has been added to portage. Can you please let me know if you still have troubles with this new version?
lftp-2.6.1 has now been added to portage and compiles fine on gcc3. Closing bug report due to lack of response from reporter and multiple confirmations of people with no installation problems. I would suggest that if the original reporter is still having problems to do this... emerge rsync emerge gcc emerge lftp
