compton will not start when libconfig-1.7.2 is installed, it bails complaining: compton: error while loading shared libraries: libconfig.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried to recompile compton, but that did not fix it. I rolled back libconfig to version 1.5 and all works fine again Reproducible: Always
Something is wrong here. Compton declares a subslot operator on libconfig: > dev-libs/libconfig:= And libconfig has a subslot of 11. Compton should have been rebuilt against the new libconfig. * Is your system fully up to date? * Can we have emerge --info, emerge -pvO compton libconfig?
Also: picom is a way more active fork. Does that work?
emerge --info https://pastebin.com/jY360J65 emerge -pvO compton libconfig https://pastebin.com/MA280gz2 I did rebuild compton against the new libconfig and I was still seeing the error

Do you have some old untracked compton binary laying around, like in /usr/local/bin? Only explanation I can think of. Even if rebuild didn't trigger, portage would've kept libconfig.so.9 for @preserved-rebuild given you have preserve-libs enabled.
Sam: that was exactly what I did the first time Ionen: nope, everything is right out of the tree I'll try the upgrade again and see what happens

emerge -av1 dev-libs/libconfig pulls in the new libconfig and also rebuilds compton trying to run compton: compton: error while loading shared libraries: libconfig.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ╰─> which compton /usr/local/bin/compton ╰─> whereis compton compton: /usr/bin/compton /usr/local/bin/compton /usr/share/man/man1/compton.1.bz2 /usr/bin/compton works! I am so sorry, I remember now that a while back I compiled compton from github to be able to get an add on blur feature. Thanks for walking through it with me, but this is clearly not a gentoo bug but pebcak

Next time, double check! Merry Christmas and I'm pleased it's not a scary problem! :)
