Bug 145787 – sys-devel/libperl-5.8.8-r1 emerge fails - missing separator

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description James Steven Supancic III 2006-08-31 17:07:03 UTC]

I can't emerge libperl.

When I try to emerge libperl (Needed for my Xorg server) I get:

Finding dependencies for opmini.o.
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/libperl-5.8.8-r1/work/perl-5.8.8'

!!! Couldn't make libperl.so depends

my use flags:
USE="dri debug profile acpi doc gtk gnome qt kde dvd alsa cdr ssl"
and features
FEATURES="nostrip"

It looks like something is wrong with the Makefile... but I am not sure.
What do I need to do to fix this?
