the dev-scheme/chickeb-1.89 ebuild is missing the ppc keyword. I've added it and test compiled it, it compiles and seems to run just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add ppc to the keyword var in the ebuild 2.emerge chicken 3. Actual Results: echo $? -> 0 ;) See bug #90583 , the ebuild is missing a backslash, you need to add this in order to be able to compile this application.
Added to ~ppc. Someone from the scheme herd will have to fix bug #90583 though. Thanks for reporting.
