(In reply to Rick Jenkins from comment #0) > Persists after a (re)merge of libpng-1.6.29::gentoo You would want to rebuild sci-geosciences/xtide itself. Please attach its entire build log to this bug report.

Please fully update your system, run emerge -a --depclean and preserve-rebuild
All done, no change in xtide error.
Maybe unmerging the old installed version will help :/
and also run "revdep-rebuild" to see if your system is consistent
Every Monday I run an update script which includes: emerge --sync -q emerge -DuavqN --with-bdeps=y --keep-going --quiet-fail --autounmask-write world --backtrack=30 emerge -q --keep-going --quiet-fail @preserved-rebuild revdep-rebuild -i -- -q --keep-going --quiet-fail In addition, when gcc-7.3 was stabilised I did emerge -e @system emerge -e @world and from time to time I run glsa-check -l then fix anything that shows up. By these means I keep my system reasonably up-to-date, and it is hard to see what other measures might be needed. I assume this means that The system is current, but I would value any further suggestions. I have de-merged and re-merged xtide, and the bug persists.
Well, this is embarrassing. Found an ancient copy of Xtide on my path, deleted it, all is now fine. Please accept my apologies for the wasted time.
Ah, no problem, nice to know what was the problem fiinally ;)
