showimg can't resolve symbols when staring. I think the problem is in ban configure options. Configure said: kexidb/showimgdb support for ShowImg: yes when I don't have kexi.
s/staring/starting/; s/ban/bad/; s/kexi/kexif/? Sorry, try again, doesn't make much sense... And - attach (don't paste) complete config.log - post emerge --info - post the output you get when you run showimg from a terminal - also, post emerge -pv showimg output.
Uhm, this bug was reported by my brother... anyway, I resolved the problem by recompiling showimg, so it doen't matter that you still do not understand it ;) Sorry.
