After compiling net-www/gnash-0.7.2 on my AMD64 computer gnash failed with the following error: # gnash gnash: error while loading shared libraries: libgnashbackend.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I checked /usr/lib and found libgnashbackend.la libgnashbackend.so -> libgnashbackend-0.7.2.so I guessed it was just a missing link or wrong path, and in fact # ln -s /usr/lib/libgnashbackend.so /usr/lib/libgnashbackend.so.0 solved the problem. I don't know if the mistake is in gnash or the ebuild, but it should be fixed.

Did you have any version of gnash installed before that? Can you please try to uninstall everything, remove the link and then merge from scratch?
I've the same problem but a "simple" re-emerge of the package is sufficent for solve it !
Ummerging and emerging again (after removing the link) worked. Seems like it was a local problem.
yeah. Please just remerge gnash when this comes up.
