it looks as if to get the above packages to output the la file in addition to commenting out the line #remove_libtool_files all in the eclass I also had to enable the static-libs use flag for each of the packages (such as libXmu) is this expected? if so then perhaps the packages depending on libXmu for example need the depends updating to check the build has taken place with "static-libs" enabled Thanks for the report. There is a general movement to remove .la files in packages. This report doesn't state an actual issue - what's the problem? Not a bug. The removals are intentional. You may use lafilefixer or revdep-rebuild to fix your system. I'm a newbie to Gentoo. And I ran into the same problem. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have run revdep-rebuild ,however it didn't work(There are still so many softwares need *.la). I think lafilefixer is a not a best solution too after I read this link(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-866961.html). However, I'll have to lafilefixer later. Is there a better solution?
