timidity++-2.13.0 and 2.13.0_rc2 can not start with -ig to use the GTK+ interface. However, timidity++-2.12.0 start GTK+ interface without any problem.

it works for me.. maybe it's your CFLAGS? try it with only march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer here's my flags in case you wana try some different things..

CFLAGS="march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" emerge timidity++ Still the same message: CONNECTION PROBLEM WITH Gtk+ PROCESS IN PIPE_INT_READ BECAUSE:Success
what versions of gtk+ are you two using?
# qpkg -i -I gtk+ x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.0-r1 * Gimp ToolKit + [ http://www.gtk.org/ ] x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11 * The GIMP Toolkit [ http://www.gtk.org/ ]
squinky86: think youu can take care of this?
I found that the failure occurs only when timidity is configured also with arts. This will happen when we have KDE installed. By commenting out the proper line in the ebuild file, timidity will work. Note again that using -im (Motif interface) or any other interface, there is no problem configuring with arts.
In the newest timidity ebuild, if you have arts support enabled, the gtk interface will be disabled. Hopefully this will be fixed in later versions of timidity: http://timidity-docs.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/kagemai-en/guest.cgi?project=timidity-bugs-en&action=view_report&id=16 thank you for the input everyone :)
