Current ebuild of octave depends only on fltk[opengl], however this leads during octave startup to this error: error: /usr/lib64/octave/3.8.2/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/PKG_ADD: /usr/lib64/octave/3.8.2/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/__init_fltk__.oct: failed to load: /usr/lib64/fltk/libfltk _gl.so.1.3: undefined symbol: XGetUtf8FontAndGlyph error: called from: error: /usr/lib64/octave/3.8.2/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/PKG_ADD at line 6, column 1 Recompiling fltk additionally with xft fixes this issue. It might be, that fltk must always be compiled with xft support if opengl use flag is enabled for it. The most annoying about this error message is the fact that octave will start but it will NOT include the current directory to its scriptpath, hence all user written scripts in the current directory cannot be executed without adding "." to the script search path. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE=-xft emerge fltk 2. emerge octave 3. start octave and you will see the above error message Portage 2.2.15 (python 3.3.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.9.2, glibc-2.20-r1, 3.18.6-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.18.6-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i5_CPU_M_460_@_2.53GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 3844264 total, 661804 free KiB Swap: 4194288 total, 4194248 free Timestamp of tree: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:45:01 +0000 sh bash 4.3_p33-r1 ld GNU ld (Gentoo 2.24 p1.4) 2.24 app-shells/bash: 4.3_p33-r1 dev-java/java-config: 2.2.0 dev-lang/perl: 5.20.1-r4 dev-lang/python: 2.7.9-r2, 3.3.5-r1 dev-util/cmake: 3.1.0 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.13.9 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.11.6, 1.14.1, 1.15 sys-devel/binutils: 2.24-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.9.2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.8 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.5 sys-devel/make: 4.1-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.18 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.20-r1 Repositories: gentoo user_ebuilds Installed sets: @programming-tools, @wireless-hotspot ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/home/distdir/" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=2 --usepkg --oneshot --keep-going=y" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_GB.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j4 --silent" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 bluray bzip2 cleartype cli corefonts cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dvb fam fortran gdbm gif gnome-keyring graphite gtk iconv ipv6 java jpeg jpeg2k kpathsea lirc mmx mng modules multilib ncurses nls nptl opengl openmp pam pcre pdf png pulseaudio qt4 readline session sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg tcpd threads tiff truetype type1 unicode v4l vaapi vdpau xcb xcomposite xinerama zlib" ABI_X86="64" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" APACHE2_MODULES="authn_core authz_core socache_shmcb unixd actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump author" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse sse2 mmx" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ublox ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" LINGUAS="de" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-5" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19 ruby20" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, SYNC, USE_PYTHON
Thanks, applied your suggested fix to octave 3.8.2 and 4.0.0.
