I thought this was a local problem, but I've had it on two different hosts now. Compiling ion3-20040906 terminates with this error: /usr/bin/lua: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [exports.c] Error 127 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ion3-20040906/work/ion-3ds-20040906/ioncore' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 It compiles cleanly after manually adding a link: ln -s /lib/libhistory.so.5.0 /lib/libhistory.so.4 Emerge info: Portage 2.0.50-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2.6.9-rc1-mm3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-rc1-mm3 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distcc fixpackages sandbox userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb canna cdr cjk crypt cups encode esd faad fbcon foomaticdb gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gtk gtk2 guile imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad matroska mikmod motif moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mozsvg mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl operanom2 oss pam pcmcia pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell ssl svg svga tcpd tetex truetype unicode wifi wxwindows x86 xface xfs xml2 xmms xv" sys-libs/readline-5.0 is installed
You need to recompile lua after upgrading readline to 5. Did you remerge it? If not, please remove the symlink, remerge lua and then try remerge ion3.
Please reopen if the problem still persists even after recompiling lua.
