Hello, The (~)7.5.231 and {M}(~)8.0.138 versions of sci-electronics/magic have the following in-program error: if the user executes the shell commands "ext2spice" or "exttosim", they get an "undefined symbol: extDevTable". My environment is: tcl-8.5.15-r1, tk-8.5.15, magic-8.0.138, gcc-4.8.3 on a amd64 kvm guest. The solution is to configure magic (at src_configure() function of the ebuild) with disable-modular instead of enable-modular. Stable ebuilds (<=7.5.202-r1) do not enable it, therefore they *might* be ok. I found that fix, which worked for me, at http://opencircuitdesign.com/pipermail/magic-dev/2012.txt, where the project owner said: > 2. More importantly, if I try an "exttosim" command from within > magic, I get a hard error "couldn't load file > "/usr/local/lib/magic/tcl/exttosim.so": > /usr/local/lib/magic/tcl/exttosim.so: undefined symbol: extDevTable". This one is a known issue with Ubuntu, or more likely having to do with recent versions of gcc. The fix is to recompile (do "make clean" first) using the configuration option configure --disable-modular That will make the error go away.
Thanks for pointing that out. It is fixed in the actual 8.0.207 version. +*magic-8.0.207 (17 Jul 2015) + + 17 Jul 2015; Thomas Beierlein <tomjbe@gentoo.org> +magic-8.0.207.ebuild: + Bump to latest stable version. Fix --diable-modular problem (Bug #529888) +
