Acording to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=6#doc_chap2 the order of entry's in ld.so.conf should follow the alphabetic order of files in /etc/env.d: humpback@sam humpback $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /opt/aim/lib /opt/eclipse-sdk-3.0_rc7 /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/games/lib /usr/kde/3.1/lib /usr/kde/3.2/lib /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox /usr/lib/fltk-1.1 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2 /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/qt/3/lib humpback@sam humpback $ cd /etc/env.d/ humpback@sam env.d $ ls 00basic 10acroread5 20java 50gconf 50qtdir3 93sgmltools-lite 99icc-ifc 01hostname 10MozillaFirefox 30java-finalclasspath 50glib2 56kdedir-3.1.4 98tetex 99kde-env 02distcc 10xfree 45qt3 50gtk2 57kdedir-3.2.0 99aim gcc 05gcc 11maple 48kdepaths-3.2.0 50guile 70less 99fltk-1.1 java 09opengl 20eclipse-3.0m7 49kdepaths-3.1.4 50ncurses 90games 99glibc_spp humpback@sam env.d $ cat 10MozillaFirefox LDPATH=/usr/lib/MozillaFirefox As we can see Mozilla Should be before eclipse and sun's sdk. I found this problem because i had icc installed and it also appeared out of order and gave problems with some opengl stuff. humpback@sam env.d $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.3-mm4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.3-mm4 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1066MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 distcc 2.12.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache cvs distcc sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/gentoo http://mirrors.twobit.net/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ " MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/humpback/work/gentoo/gentoo-x86" SYNC="rsync://felisberto.net/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bonobo crypt cups dillo dvd encode esd evo flash foomaticdb gd gdbm ggi gif gimpprint gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile icc imlib ipv6 irmc java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww linguas_linguas_pt linguas_pt mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl openssh operanom2 oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcltki tcpd tetex tiff truetype video_cards_i830 wmf x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Same here, gave me big troubles when compiling openoffice... Fix is pretty simple: I don't know why, but portage seems to sort ld.so.conf alphabetically. The fix should be as simple as to remove line 657( oldld.sort() ) and line 665 (newld.sort() ) in /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py. Matt
