Bug occurred when running "emerge --emptytree system" on an AMD64 The initial configuration part of the aspell installation process runs a series of tests, including one to find the default c++ compiler output filename. 'configure' compiles a small test program by calling g++ with -lgpm . When gpm is not installed, this results in the error message "C++ compiler cannot create executables". The problem: aspell does not currently depend on gpm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. In case you're wondering, I did not have GPM in my USE flags..
emerge --info missing, assuming dupe. And no, it does not depend on gpm, it builds perfectly fine without it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 99533 ***
