I have been trying to figure this one out on my own since I am pretty sure something is wrong on my end since no one else seemed to report this, but I am totally baffled. games-strategy/scorched3d-38.1 fails to build with the following error: checking for OpenGL support... yes checking for profiling enabled... no checking for floating point math support... yes checking for wxgtk2-2.4-config... /usr/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config checking for wxWindows version >= 2.4.0... yes (version 2.4.2) checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config checking for FreeType -- version >= 7.0.1... no configure: WARNING: The FreeType test program failed to run. If your system uses shared libraries and they are installed outside the normal system library path, make sure the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or whatever is appropiate for your system) is correctly set. configure: error: FreeType2 must be installed on your system but freetype-config couldn't be found. Please check that freetype-config is in the path, the directory where the freetype libraries are installed (returned by 'freetype-onfig --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and freetype version is 7.0.1 or above Try http://www.freetype.org to download freetype. I do have freetype installed and the output from freetype-config --version is: 9.7.3 I re-emerged freetype just to be sure all was good.

please attach the config.log from the build directory as text/plain. Thanks.
Finally figured it out, but not sure why this worked. I re-emerged x11-libs/wxGTK and now it builds without an error. Thanks, Ken
I believe I know what the cause is... In general, if you upgrade your OpenGL implementation (nvidia in my case) and don't upgrade the apps that rely on it, like wxGTK (with 'opengl' use flag on), or SDL, or clanlib, etc., you run into problems. I still don't know the cause of THIS, but re-emerging these libs seems to clear up any problems. This is something that 'revdep-rebuild' should somehow learn to catch, but I don't think it does right now.
