Missed a versionsort_LDADD = $(common_ldadd) in src/Makefile.am I think. Here's the error: CXXLD versionsort eixTk/stringutils.o: In function `StringHash::operator[](unsigned int) const': stringutils.cc:(.text+0xa8): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' eixTk/stringutils.o: In function `StringHash::get_index(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&) const': stringutils.cc:(.text+0x8d5): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' stringutils.cc:(.text+0x94c): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' eixTk/stringutils.o: In function `StringHash::hash_string(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)': stringutils.cc:(.text+0xce9): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' eixTk/stringutils.o: In function `StringHash::store_words(std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > const&)': stringutils.cc:(.text+0xf31): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext' eixTk/stringutils.o:stringutils.cc:(.text+0xfda): more undefined references to `libintl_gettext' follow main/main_tools.o: In function `main': main_tools.cc:(.text+0x112): undefined reference to `libintl_bindtextdomain' main_tools.cc:(.text+0x11e): undefined reference to `libintl_textdomain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[2]: *** [versionsort] Error 1 gmake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/big/tmp/portage/app-portage/eix-0.20.3/work/eix-0.20.3/src' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/big/tmp/portage/app-portage/eix-0.20.3/work/eix-0.20.3' gmake: *** [all] Error 2
Created attachment 226653 [details, diff] Add versionsort_LDADD to src/Makefile.am Here's a fix.
Thanks a lot for pointing out the reason: This is the problem of bug 305737 which I was not able to detect - only now I realize that it did not happen during linking of eix but during linking of versionsort (i.e. USE=tools was active...). Anyway, linking versionsort against libbzip would not be a good idea, since the latter is not used by versionsort. The issue should be fixed in current eix svn trunk (>=eix-0.20.3). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 305737 ***
