I've got koffice perfectly working on gentoo 1.2 boxes. Everything else is working on this gentoo1.4 box. I 'emerge rsync' almost every day. And i have had this pb for several days, if not weeks, now. koffice fails to compile with this error /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wbad-function-cast -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -ffast-math -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DKDE_NO_COMPAT -o libkopainter.la.closure libkopainter_la_closure.lo -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/kde/3/lib -version-info 1:0:0 -no-undefined art_rgb.lo art_rgb_svp.lo libkopainter_la.all_cc.lo ../../lib/kofficeui/libkofficeui.la -L/usr/lib -lart_lgpl_2 -lm libtool: link: warning: `-version-info' is ignored for programs /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lart_lgpl_2 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status an emerge search shows that * media-libs/libart_lgpl Latest version Available: 2.3.10 Latest version Installed: 2.3.10 and locate gives that : bizet All # locate libart_lgpl_2.so /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so you'll note that the failing line has a -L/usr/lib, so i really dunno what to do. I've tried to remerge libart_lgpl, with no more success. Note that I've got the same pb with 'emerge kde', though i don't remember on which package it fails. I don't really care as kdelibs/base are already emerged and i don't really need anything else but koffice. i can be found on irc, OPN, #freehackers, and often on #gentoo, as 'orzel'
?? emerge unmerge libart_lgpl, emerge sync --clean, emerge clean, and retry fixed the pb...
