When I emerge ifd-gempc it complains about an odl libusb but a recent version is installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ifd-gempc (~x86) 2. 3. WRONG VERSION OF LIBUSB! Your version of libusb is not correct (too old?). You must use version 0.1.6a or superior. You can get it from http://libusb.sourceforge.net/ or from a package of your operating system distribution make[1]: *** [check_stamp] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ifd-gempc-0.9.3/work/ifd-gempc- 0.9.3/GemPC430' make: *** [all] Error 2 Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc- 2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 1 2005, 02:04:38)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -mtune=pentium3 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame- pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/shar e/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/ kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /va r/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -mtune=pentium3 -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame- pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux dvd dvdr emboss encode fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm hal imagemagick imlib java jpeg junit kde kdeenablefinal libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mp3 mpeg mysql mythtv ncurses nls nptl nvidia oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime rdesktop readline samba sdl smartcard spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1- fonts v4l2 xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS emerge -pv libusb These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

I can confirm the problem. Things seem to work, however, with libusb-0.1.10a and ifd-gempc-0.9.3.
thankyou - fixed as per Marcelo's suggestion
