For reasons I don't understand, media-libs/sdl-sound complains when I try to emerge it and sys-libs/gpm isn't present. I don't understand why a sound library would require a console mouse server, but in any case, it breaks the ebuild if that package isn't present. Should be an easy fix... either make sys-libs/gpm a dependency of media-libs/sdl-sound, or fix sdl-sound to not require gpm in its configuration. I'm submitting this as a bug because I don't know what the right action should be for this package. emerge =media-libs/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1 dies with the following: [ebuild R ] media-libs/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1 USE="flac mikmod vorbis -physfs -speex" *snip* i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared SDL_sound.lo alt_audio_convert.lo audio_convert.lo extra_rwops.lo -Wl,--whole-archive decoders/.libs/libdecoders.al decoders/timidity/.libs/libtimidity.al decoders/mpglib/.libs/libmpglib.al -Wl,--no-whole-archive decoders/.libs/libdecoders.al -L/usr/lib decoders/timidity/.libs/libtimidity.al decoders/mpglib/.libs/libmpglib.al -lXext /usr/lib/libaa.so -lncurses -lX11 -lgpm -ldl /usr/lib/libogg.so /usr/lib/libSDL.so -lpthread /usr/lib/libFLAC.so /usr/lib/libmikmod.so /usr/lib/libvorbis.so -lm /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so -Wl,-soname -Wl,libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1 -o .libs/libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgpm collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libSDL_sound.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1/work/SDL_sound-1.0.1' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sdl-sound-1.0.1-r1/work/SDL_sound-1.0.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 In the entire output of the build, this is the first time gpm is mentioned.
