Rar is precompiled by rarlabs aparently using gcc 2.95.x and linked verses libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 That causes rar and unrar installed by the ebuild unrunnable on pure gcc 3 systems. rarlabs distributes rar_static, a static linked binary which is usable in a gcc 3 system. I would only install rar_static as rar on pure gcc3 systems as the dynamic rar and unrar are useless. Also rar 3.1.0 was released, only requires a rename of the ebuild and its go.
install lib-compat-1.1
lib-compat does make this work, however for pure gcc 3 systems (like upcoming gentoo 1.4), lib-compat should be a depend then for this package, as else this package will not work properly (I do not think a user shoud manually install lib-compat to make this work)
lib-compat added as a DEPEND.
added to portage. thanks for the heads up.
No problem, glad I can help out a little. As test unmerged rar and lib-compat. emerging masked rar 3.1.0 installs lib-compat fine and rar seems to work fine. Marking closed.
