[Comment 1 Sven Wegener 2005-02-21 12:19:58 UTC]

I suppose it's due to the fact that you've got perl compiled with USE="ithreads" support. From the perl ebuild:

                ewarn ""
                ewarn "PLEASE NOTE: You are compiling perl-5.8 with"
                ewarn "interpreter-level threading enabled."
                ewarn "Threading is not supported by all applications "
                ewarn "that compile against perl. You use threading at "
                ewarn "your own discretion. "
                ewarn ""

you are right. disabling it and recompiling perl made epic4 compile OK.
is there an idea what  to do with applications that dont work correctly with ithreads turned on ?

[Comment 3 Sven Wegener 2005-02-28 15:49:37 UTC]

No solution I'm aware of. I'm going to add some built_with_use magic to the ebuild
to make epic error out if perl has been compiled with USE="ithreads"
