libspectre-0.2.0 has a dependency on virtual/ghostscript. The ghostscript virtual package is further satisfied by ghostscript-esp, ghostscript-gnu, or ghostscript-gpl However, with the current most up-to-date versions of ghostscript-esp (~8.15.4) or ghostscript-gnu (~8.60.0-r1) you get the following error when trying to compile libspectre: checking for libgs >= 8.61... no configure: error: You need libgs >= 8.61 in order to compile libspectre Removing the offending flavors of ghostscript and emerging ghostscript-gpl (8.61-r1) resolves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have either ghostscript-esp or ghostscript-gnu installed. 2. Try to emerge libspectre-0.2.0 3. Fail. Actual Results: Error in the configuration process, failed compile. It seems the current versions of ghostscript-esp and ghostscript-gnu, while good enough to satisfy the virtual/ghostscript requirement, are not high enough to satisfy the requirements of libspectre-0.2.0. ghostscript-gpl works fine though, and is actually stable. Maybe the dependency should be changed from the virtual ghostscript package to the specific ghostscript-gpl package?
