Created attachment 435334 [details] emerge --info I've trying to launch app-emulation/vmware-player-12.1.0.3272444-r2 and it just silently exits. I've successfully did emerge --config app-emulation/vmware-player, required modules are loaded and vmware service is running. After the unsuccessful launch I get the log file attached. The following line is a suspect: Unable to load libvmwareui.so from /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwareui.so/libvmwareui.so: /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwareui.so/libvmwareui.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib10spawn_syncERKSsRKNS_11ArrayHandleISsNS_17Container_Helpers10TypeTraitsISsEEEENS_10SpawnFlagsERKN4sigc4slotIvNSA_3nilESC_SC_SC_SC_SC_SC_EEPSsSG_Pi This symbol is demangled with objdump -TC /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwareui.so/libvmwareui.so to Glib::spawn_sync(std::string const&, Glib::ArrayHandle<std::string, Glib::Container_Helpers::TypeTraits<std::string> > const&, Glib::SpawnFlags, sigc::slot<void, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil> const&, std::string*, std::string*, int*) I've inspected the /usr/lib64/libglibmm-2.4.so.1.3.0 binary (dev-cpp/glibmm-2.46.3 package) and found Glib::spawn_sync(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, Glib::ArrayHandle<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, Glib::Container_Helpers::TypeTraits<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > const&, Glib::SpawnFlags, sigc::slot<void, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil, sigc::nil> const&, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*, int*) Of course, I'm using gcc 5 (gcc-config -c gives me x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-5.3.0) So I assume that at least dev-cpp/glibmm should be compiled using old CXX ABI?
Did you use USE=+bundled-libs ?
Actually, using bundled libs solves this problem (I guess they were built using gcc 4.xx). Failing vmware-player was built with USE="-bundled-libs"

There is a notice at the end of the emerge process saying to use +bundled-libs with gcc5
oops, sorry, did not notice this message about "You MUST set USE=bundled-libs..." after package installation.
