while installing net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.0 i noticed some sed errors reported from ./configure while checking for ld in every subsection of the configure. I'm using ccache so this doesn't apprear to be a big problem since cached ld is used if ld is not reported as fouund. This could be a problem for a new install of courier-imap and sane linking of courier-imap. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.0 2. observe configure while ./configure checks for the existance of ld 3. sedation reports ld no such file or directory with errors in condigure on lines 3336, 3433, 4670 and possibly other similar sed portions of configure Actual Results: courier-imap completes configure successfully if ld is cached but reports ld as "no such file or directory" most likely a simple fix for someone with sed experience configure: loading cache /var/tmp/portage/courier-authlib-0.52/work/courier-authlib-0.52/configuring.cache checking for a BSD-compatible install...

I'm seeing this in net-libs/courier-authlib as well. Any suggested workaround yet? Is it a real problem? I can't get courier-imapd-ssl to auth using MD5 yet. I think the severity of this bug should be higher than trivial.
this is just a side affect of using configure cache. It doesn't cause any harm but I turned it off now to reduce "noise" @ comment#1 I don't think this bug has anything to do with your issue. Anyway, the new ebuild commited without revision bump (I think it is trival). Please wait for an hour then sync/re-emerge as you wish. Thanks, for reporting.
Tuan, you are correct - this had nothing to do with my problem. Thanks for taking care of the noise though... :) For the record; my problem turned out to be one of my userdb not being moved or converted over to the new location by the new ebuild.
