I get the same thing on my system.  Similar setup.

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2005-01-18 05:18:31 UTC]

your 'emerge info' ?

[Comment 3 José Romildo Malaquias 2005-01-25 09:24:28 UTC]

I am also having this problem.

The output of 'emerge --info':

Same problem here.  Looks like we are all using gcc 3.4.3.  I posted my emerge info in a thread a started http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=284907&highlight=

[Comment 5 Jonas Wouters 2005-01-26 14:46:11 UTC]

here is a solution:

[Comment 6 John Alberts 2005-01-26 22:21:20 UTC]

Thanks.  That worked.  I just deleted all '.la' files from /usr/lib and pyOrbit will compile without fail. Everything works great now. Of course, I didn't delete the files, I just moved them elsewhere for safe keeping. It hasn't seemed to effect any other parts of the system. 

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2005-01-27 03:34:05 UTC]

the .la files are used by libtool to find the dependencies for each of the libraries i compiles.  one of the .la files is corrupted in that it doesn't give the full path ("/usr/lib" vs "usr/lib"). 

are you able to find which one that is from yoru existing .la files?

try: fgrep -E "[^/]usr/lib" /usr/lib/*.la

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 06:28:22 UTC]

looks like you are all using amd64 ... see bug #79713 for a possible dupe

[Comment 9 Tom Martin (RETIRED) 2005-02-08 11:25:24 UTC]

Encountered the same problem, also on amd64. Remerged gnome-base/orbit and solved it. Not sure of a long term fix though...

[Comment 10 Glenn L. McGrath 2005-02-10 14:44:49 UTC]

I have the following on my system, (i struck this bug and am amd64 as well)
libIDL-2.la:libdir='usr/lib'
libvte.la:libdir='usr/lib'

[Comment 11 Glenn L. McGrath 2005-02-10 14:59:57 UTC]

Changing usr/lib to /usr/lib didnt help, remerging orbit fixed the problem

[Comment 12 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2005-04-20 08:35:38 UTC]

dunno how that would happen? closing as WORKSFORME for now. reopen if someone has a patch for this.
