That version (2.3.1) is hard masked, and as such is can be expected not to compile. However, do you have the latest Xcode (2.1)? It solves some of these linker problems. FYI: I just compiled: [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-libraries-2.2.4[ok] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/libnasl-2.2.4 [ok] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.2.4-r1 [ok] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-plugins-2.2.4 [ok] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-2.2.4 [ok] and experienced no problems.
Yes, I was able to compile that version as well.
The following versions compile: [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-libraries-2.2.5 416 kB [1] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/libnasl-2.2.5 355 kB [1] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.2.5 -X -debug (-gtk2) -prelude -tcpd 667 kB [1] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-plugins-2.2.5 1,089 kB [1] [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/nessus-2.2.5 0 kB [1] The "prelude" flag requires this, which is ~ppc-macos in portage: [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libtasn1-0.2.13 (-doc) 0 kB [1] [ebuild N ] net-libs/gnutls-1.2.4 -crypt (-doc) -zlib 0 kB [1] [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libprelude-0.9.0_rc14 (-perl) -python 1,604 kB One nasty think that is left: the X USE flag pulls gtk, or if gtk2 is also set, gtk2. We cannot just mask X for this reason, so I was looking for a way to mask X only for this package. Any dev know how to do this the correct way for ppc-macos?
