During a re-emerge of gnucash as per revdep-rebuild request I got the following error: checking for main in -lgal... no configure: error: gal library not found.

Created attachment 91379 [details] config.log as per request Here is the file required. Is the bug reporter supposed to send this file in every bug?
Requested info available.
According to the config.log: configure:13375: gcc -o conftest -O3 -march=i686 -pipe -L/usr/X11R6/lib conftest.c -lgal -rdynamic -L/usr/lib -lgal -lgnomeprint -lfreetype -lglade-gnome -lglade -lxml -lz -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -lgdk_imlib -lSM -lICE -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -lasound -laudiofile -ldb1 -lgdk_pixbuf -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgnomecanvaspixbuf -lpopt -lm -lm 1>&5 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lesd This indicates to me, that you used to have esound around, and now you don't (or that you have a version bump and you didn't recompile stuff). Can you try two things: 1. emerge -Duv world -p (and check if media-sound/esound is being pulled in) 2. revdep-rebuild -- -p (and show me the list of stuff that it wants to remerge) Do 2 only if 1 doesn't show esound.
(In reply to comment #4) > > This indicates to me, that you used to have esound around, and now you don't Precisely. Recently a "emerge -av --depclean" removed esound from my computer. Since them I have never been able to complete a revdep-rebuild as gtkhtml fails. > 1. emerge -Duv world -p (and check if media-sound/esound is being pulled in) It doesn't show media-sound/esound. > 2. revdep-rebuild -- -p (and show me the list of stuff that it wants to > remerge) Here is the result: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1 [ebuild R ] app-office/gnucash-1.8.11 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gail-1.8.8 USE="-debug -doc" [ebuild R ] gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.8.2 The problem is that I can't emerge gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1 as it fails for the lack of esound. See bug #139470. It seems that gnucash is depending on gtkhtml for some reason. Shall this bug depend on bug #139470? I hope not as it seems nobody has any idea on how to fix bug #139470. Until now, I only got a friend with the same problem, no suggestions on how to fix.
I'm afraid it does depend on that bug :/
