you didn't give your 'emerge info' like you should ? but i'm gonna assume you build with maketest feature, remove the darn thing, tests in software packages are often ill-maintained & not to be trusted. plus that if you had searched, you wouldve found its a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69347 ***
I did search, but I must've been sloppy. Yes, I've had maketest in FEATURES. Removing it now.
