Since Eterm 0.9.3 seems kind of b0rked, I wanted to downgrade to 0.9.2. This is what I get: checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes checking for TT_Init_FreeType in -lttf... yes checking for imlib_create_image in -lImlib2... yes checking for transparency support... yes checking for MMX support... yes checking for libast-config... libast-config checking for libast_malloc in -last... no ERROR: You need LibAST 0.5 or higher to build Eterm. If you already have it, you may have it installed in a strange place, or you may need to run /sbin/ldconfig. If you don't have it, I can download it for you. Shall I retrieve and build LibAST now (y/n)? n configure: error: Fatal: libast not found. !!! ERROR: x11-terms/eterm-0.9.2-r6 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 447, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I have libast 0.6.1 installed. I tried reemerging libast, thinking that some of the files got corrupted, and ran ldconfig afterwards, but to no avail.
After downgrading libast to 0.5-r2, eterm-0.9.2-r6 configures and builds.
eterm-0.9.2 wont work with libast-0.6 either you use just stable or unstable, you cant mix the two fixed eterm-0.9.2's DEPEND in cvs
I still get this error with eterm-0.9.2-r6 and libast 0.5-r2.
file a new bug and actually include something useful in your bug report (emerge info and config.log)
Ok. I filed a new bug. See #90206. But I still think it's a duplicate of this bug. I admit that I should have posted more info to this bug. Sorry about that.
