libticables can not be used without the use of external modules (tipar, tiser) or libusb for usb cables (tiusb is depecrated).

Created attachment 57252 [details, diff] libticables-3.8.6-3.8.7.diff Preliminary ebuild: * Use the sourceforge mirror. * Added the "usb", "serial" and "parallel" local USE flags. * At least one of them should be used, if not just show a warn. * Removed ticables-config, if its really needed take note that it should be added again and it must be sed'ed in order to replace the correct $libdir location (for multilib systems) * Added conditions to be sure that things are going to work * Needs to be done the 'tiser' external module ebuild * Needs to create the neccesary hotplug script and usermap for usb (libusb) support

Arrrg, upstream page (even sourceforge) is not updated, the correct version are: Current Portage Version -> Lastest Stable Version ======================= ====================== libticables-3.8.6. -> libticables-3.8.9 You can found the source at http://gentoo.org.mx/libti/ . It dont have any modification, just added the version sufix, and bziped rather than gziped. The original source is: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/unix/tilibs.tar.gz which include all the lastest libti*
I haven't seen this bug before... there are new ebuild on the bug #84763
If I understand correctly, this should be fixed with the updated packages now in Portage, as they cover everything necessary to use TiLP. If I am wrong, feel free to reopen.
