I'm encountering the same problem as in Bug 2050, namely a not-found libGLU prevents wxPython from ebuilding. I believe it is due to the location of my GLU library, since I am indeed using the nvidia driver. The nvidia libraries live in /usr/lib but the GLU libraries are in /usr/X11R6/lib The command 'emerge wxPython' fails with the message: gcc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/contrib/glcanvas/gtk/glcanvas.o -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.2/wxPython/glcanvasc.so -L/usr/lib -lwx_gtk_gl-2.3 -lGL -lGLU -lwx_gtk-2.3 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 17, Exitcode 1 I'm using an up-to-the-minute updated Gentoo system, with python version 2.2.1 Probably the fix is to change the ebuild file to tell the C compiler to also look in /usr/X11R6/lib by adding the -L/usr/X11R6/lib right after the -L/usr/lib option that is already in there --- but I don't know where to add this, as I don't see any compiler options being specified in the ebuild file (wxPython-2.3.2.1.ebuild) Thanks - Phil K.
When you see that an unfixed bug is closed, the right thing to do is to reopen the old bug. Thanks for the report *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2050 ***
