when I tried to emerge arts I had a problem with libtool and grep during the build process. It couldn't find /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/libstdc++.a The 3.4.3 did not exist but I had 3.4.3-20050110 so I made a link called 3.4.3 that pointed to the file and it compiled fine. I think its a problem with the makefile searching for the right version of gcc libs instead of getting them from portage Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge arts Actual Results: got build errors. Expected Results: build fine $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.10 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Mar 11 2005, 21:25:37)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r6 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.22-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=k8 -m32 -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=k8 -m32 -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups curl dba dvd emboss encode esd flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpm-prefork mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl php png python quicktime readline sdl spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts xml xml2 xmms xv zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
