Very strange, I don't understand why line 262 in gtksourcegutterrenderermarks.c would produce this error.

What are your installed gtk+ and glib versions, and what USE flags that they were built with?

What CFLAGS are you using? What compiler?

[Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2011-08-23 16:15:07 UTC]

Ah, never mind, I know what's going on. You are using betagarden :/

Sebastian, gnome-3.0 is known to have build problems with glib-2.29.x and gtk+-3.1.x. I believe that at the moment *many* packages (not just gtksourceview) are affected. So if you want to use gtk+-3.1.x right now, your best bet is to use the gnome-next branch from the gnome overlay.

Fortunately, for gtksourceview-3.0.x, the fix is trivial: simply adding --disable-maintainer-mode to configure allows it to build against gtk+-3.1.x.

Correct.

Unfortunately gnome-next does not integrate with layman.

Would that break anything for the main tree?  Why not apply it over there?

Because I am not a developer yet, and can't commit to gx86.

That's actually another bug :-)
