Hi,

sleuthkit-4.1.3 fails to link with cppunit-1.13.1:

Did you recompile cppunit after upgrading to gcc5?

[Comment 4 Andrew Savchenko 2016-06-05 19:09:33 UTC]

Apparently no, this system is in the process of @world update right now and emerge put sleuthkit before cppunit in the dep tree, since sleuthkit has no ebuild dependency on cppunit.

When @world update will be completed (or will fail again even with --keep-going, which is much more likely) I'll report back, though I give 99.99% that this problem comes from C++ abi mismatch. Looks like I read error message without enough care.

[Comment 5 Andrew Savchenko 2016-06-06 13:27:52 UTC]

Mike, this indeed was C++11 abi mismatch, rebuild of cppunit helps. Bug 585088 should be fixed to reduce risks of such issue for other users.
