The sed fixing bug 34804 refers to ${D}/usr/lib/libSDL.la specifically. That causes an error at that point on amd64 with lib64, as the image dir has a /usr/lib64 at that point, but no /usr/lib. I had originally installed the package b4 the lib64 changes and it worked fine, but I just reemerged it due to use flag changes and got hung up on this. Changing that lib to lib64 in the ebuild and redigesting it allowed a full emerge without issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try merging media-libs/libsdl on AMD64 with real lib64 dirs. Actual Results: Error during the ebuild install step as above. Expected Results: Completed the emerge as normal Portage 2.0.51_rc4 (default-linux/amd64/gcc34-2004.2, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20040918-r0, 2.6.9-rc2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-rc2 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.91.0.2 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -Os -pipe -funit-at-a-time -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /mnt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/mc /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -Os -pipe -funit-at-a-time -fomit-frame-pointer -frename-registers" DISTDIR="/mnt/p/src" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache distlocks strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/mnt/p/pkg" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/p" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/p" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa amd64 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts caps cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dga divx4linux dvd dvdr encode fam fbcon foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww lzw-tiff mad maildir mikmod motif mozilla mpeg multilib ncurses nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime radeon readline scanner sdl slang spell ssl tcltk theora tiff truetype usb userlocales xine xinerama xml2 xmms xosd xprint xv xvid zlib video_cards_ati input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse linguas_en"
libsdl-1.2.7-r3 also has the same problem.
Sorry, guys. I had that fixed in my overlay but didn't commit alongside 1.2.7-r3 version bump. In CVS now !
