Description Toby Murray 2011-09-27 04:57:32 UTC

mapserver compiles fine but portage quits while installing due to a QA notice:

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
 *
 * Function `msGMLGetItems' implicitly converted to pointer at mapogroutput.c:696
 *
 *  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
 *  with the maintaining herd of the package.
 *
 * ERROR: sci-geosciences/mapserver-6.0.1 failed:
 *   install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above
 *
 * Call stack:
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 992:  Called install_qa_check
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 680:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                              die "install aborted due to" \


Presumably this is a solvable problem as I see amd64 packages for mapserver on other distros.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to emerge mapserver on amd64
