Bear with me, I am a brand new gentoo 1.2 user and also a new bugzilla user. I
*WELCOME* corrections, or anything that would make maintainer jobs easier.

While emerging gimp (gimp-1.2.3-r2), I get at least 10 screenfulls of pages with
these types of errors:

preferences_dialog.o(.text+0x6345): undefined reference to
`gimp_table_attach_aligned'
preferences_dialog.o(.text+0x6396): undefined reference to `gimp_option_menu_new2'
preferences_dialog.o(.text+0x63dd): undefined reference to
`gimp_table_attach_aligned'
preferences_dialog.o(.text+0x7384): undefined reference to
`gimp_table_attach_aligned'
resolution_calibrate.o: In function `resolution_calibrate_dialog':

I know this isn't enough to help, so please tell me exactly what information you
need.

I have the full dump of errors in a text file, I'm sure you'll want to see it.

First attachment attempt. Hope it works out.

Arch: x86 (dual AMD XP 1800+)
GCC version: 2.95.3

Other notes: same problem with the environment variable MAKE set to "make -j3"
as well as "make".

During my testing to see if this occoured with MAKE set to "make -j3" as well as
"make", I must have made an error and not set MAKE correctly in the "make"
situation.

With MAKE as "make", I instead get a sandbox violation.

sandbox log, MAKE="make" , not "make -j3"

Good news! I did an emerge rsync and now gimp compiles fine. Perhaps the ebuild
scripts were modified/updated? This is with MAKE being "make -j3", by the way.

looks like this was primarily related to a perl fix by mcummings, I'll close it,
but re-open it if it fails any more.
