I modified file: /usr/portage/dev-libs/xalan-c/xalan-c-1.7.0.ebuild and changed from: ./runConfigure -p linux -c "$(tc-getCC)" -x "$(tc-getCXX)" -P /usr || die to: ./runConfigure -p linux -c "$(tc-getCC)" -x "$(tc-getCXX)" -P /usr -l "-lxerces-depdom" || die Regenerated the digests for this ebuild. And the emerge xalan-c works. Now i don't know if i have a polluted environment or does the ebuild (or even the configure.in, ...) need this additional linker option? Many thanks. No need to hurry from my side. I have now a working xalan-c. klaus/germany Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xalan-c 2. vi /usr/portage/dev-libs/xalan-c/xalan-c-1.7.0.ebuild and change the line to: ./runConfigure -p linux -c "$(tc-getCC)" -x "$(tc-getCXX)" -P /usr -l "-lxerces-depdom" || die 3. emerge xalan-c works now!
1.10.0 should work fine
