the emerging of xfig in amd64 environment put libraries in /usr/lib/X11/xfig/ whereas emerging xfig in a 32bit or chroot32 host put libraries in /usr/lib/xfig this problem persists since a year now (I was so discorauged as foolish to don't notice it and set up a chroot32 environment), never solved, and leads to segfault after the program's window opens. Making a link did the trick: cd /usr/lib64 ln -sf X11/xfig xfig Excuse me for such a silly help, but If you modify the ebuild or the configure script newbies as me can use this great program. This problem is common to all versions of xfig I tried on amd64 platforms under various configurations.
