This can be worked around by manually pulling in dev-libs/glib-1.2.x Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure dev-libs/glib-1.2.x is not installed 2. Try to emerge sci-electronics/balsa-3.5 Actual Results: fails on configure Expected Results: configure should pass, should work >>> Emerging (4 of 4) sci-electronics/balsa-3.5 * balsa-tech-example-3.5.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...
