Created attachment 367258 [details] /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/timidity++-2.14.0/temp/build.log I first emerged media-sound/timidity++-2.14.0 in December 2012, and all went well. Recently "emerge @preserved-rebuild" wanted to rebuild the same version of this package, and this rebuild failed: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=native -pipe -O2 -march=native -pipe -rdynamic -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -o timidity aiff_a.o aq.o au_a.o audio_cnv.o common.o controls.o effect.o filter.o freq.o instrum.o list_a.o loadtab.o m2m.o mfi.o miditrace.o midi_a.o mix.o mod.o mod2midi.o modmid_a.o mt19937ar.o optcode.o output.o playmidi.o quantity.o raw_a.o rcp.o readmidi.o recache.o resample.o reverb.o sbkconv.o sffile.o sfitem.o smfconv.o smplfile.o sndfont.o tables.o timidity.o version.o wave_a.o wrd_read.o wrdt.o alsa_a.o vorbis_a.o flac_a.o dl_dlopen.o ../interface/libinterface.a ../libarc/libarc.a ../libunimod/libunimod.a ../utils/libutils.a -lXaw3d -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lX11 -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread -lm -ldl -lpthread -lm -ldl -lpthread -L/usr/lib -lFLAC -lm -lncurses -ldl -lpng -lz -L/usr/lib -lvorbis -lm -lvorbisenc -L/usr/lib -logg /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: ../interface/libinterface.a(ncurs_c.o): undefined reference to symbol 'cbreak' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'cbreak' is defined in DSO /lib/libtinfo.so.5 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libtinfo.so.5: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I had to rebuild sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r2 in May 2013, which I presume has something to do with timidity++'s current failure.
... Let me guess: ncurses[tinfo] ?
Seems likely: symptoms are similar to bug 483496 and bug 486124 (among others), which block bug 457530.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
