please tell me your `emerge info` and `etcat files dar`.
I'm not the reporter, but nontheless :-) valhalla ~ # ldd $(which dar) | grep libdar libdar.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdar.so.2 (0x40018000) So, the problem isn't the installation but the configure script. And the problem is not gentoo related. Please see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5540075&forum_id=37250 That doesn't mean you should close this bug :-). Perhaps there is an easy solution which you can add into your ebuild?
This is fixed by the new version of dar. The problem was an extra semicolon at the end of line 110 in /usr/include/dar/real_infinint.hpp.
fixed in dar 2.1.5.
