python java esd gif sdl vorbis ogg

wow, thats a fast bug report, i just checked this package in 
today, and theres a report already!  cool!

anyway, its very uncool that it doesnt build for you.

please tell me which versions of gcc and glibc you have
installed on your system.

this package compiles fine on two systems of mine, one
with significantly older versions of just about everytning
than the other one.

glibc is glibc-2.2.4-r9 and gcc is gcc-2.95.3-r5.This is what is printed by running /lib/libc.so.6:GNU C Library stable release version 2.2.4, by Roland McGrath et al.Copyright (C) 1992-1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR APARTICULAR PURPOSE.Compiled by GNU CC version 2.95.3 20010315 (release).Compiled on a Linux 2.4.16 system on 2002-02-08.Available extensions:        GNU libio by Per Bothner        crypt add-on version 2.1 by Michael Glad and others        linuxthreads-0.9 by Xavier Leroy        BIND-8.2.3-T5B        libthread_db work sponsored by Alpha Processor Inc        NIS(YP)/NIS+ NSS modules 0.19 by Thorsten Kukuk

Ok ive confirmed with at least 2 more people that cyrus-sasl
compiles and installs just fine with them.

Then only thing I can suggest at this point, is that you change

emake || die
to
make || die

and see if that solves it.  Could you please try that and lemme
know if that fixes it?  Thanks!

Well, I don't know how to say that, but it worked for me suddenly.  After failing 3 times last 
night, I just attempted to rebuild it again and it worked this time.   I have no explanation for that!

I gues you can resolve and close the bug report.

[Comment 5 Donny Davies (RETIRED) 2002-02-20 00:26:30 UTC]

fixed.

it turns out that emake was casuing the problem in this
particular case.

the ebuild now uses make instead.
