it appears vte sources do not include ffi references whatsoever so I guess this comes from an errorneous libtool or pkgconfig file. Please grep through /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/lib for .pc and .la files containing references to ffi and post the result here.
I guess you've given the clue. And I was bouncing on this with gnome-python-desktop. The problem might not be finished as # grep -r ffi /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/lib/pkgconfig/pygobject-2.0.pc:Libs: -L${libdir} -lffi even though : eix pygobject [I] dev-python/pygobject Available versions: (2) 2.12.3 2.14.0 2.14.1 2.14.2 {X debug doc examples libffi} Installed versions: 2.14.2(2)(13:02:29 06/21/08)(-debug -doc -examples -libffi) The compile must go on. I'll give the results at the end. Thanks again.
I confirm : after getting rid, by hand, of "-lffi" in pygobject.pc vte, gnome-terminal, gnome-python-desktop emerged ok. Is this a bug in pygobject that should be addressed or can I changed this bug to FIXED ?
could you try rebuilding pygobject ? either latest 2.14 or 2.15.4 ? it looks like pygobject would not be respecting configure switch in which case we'd have to fix it.
It is ok now, with 2.15.4. Thanks again.
