works for me. You didn't include the output from emerge --info. reopen with that.

Please verify directories ~/.lincity AND /usr/share/games/lincity-ng do not exist before testing this package.
dholth@moire ~/prog/crta $ lincity-ng Starting Lincity-NG... [/home/dholth/.lincity] is in the search path. [/usr/share/games/lincity-ng] is in the search path. LINCITY_HOME: /usr/share/games/lincity-ng Aborted
/usr/share/games/lincity-ng is installed by the package so making sure it doesn't exist before running doesn't make any sense. ~/.lincity is created the first time lincity-ng is run. please attach the CONTENTS file for lincity-ng from /var/db/pkg/ and the entire strace file as text/plain.
Mr. Bones I had supposed the packagers had run lincity before, already had certain files related to lincity-ng in their fs, and then didn't notice that there were any missing pieces when they run the installed packages. Your requests are absurd but I will provide them anyway. Convincing someone else to fix this bug is more difficult than fixing it myself would be.

PROBLEM: userconfig.xml does not exist in /usr/share/games/lincity-ng/ When lincity runs it wants to copy this default configuration to the user's home directory, but it can't because it is not installed. SOLUTION: install lincity-ng-1.0/doc/userconfig.xml to /usr/share/games/lincity-ng/ Game now runs.
Daniel: The package is fine, this is NOT a problem of userconfig.xml not being found (I'm a developer of the game, I can assure you the game creates the file on exit if it wasn't available at start). It seems like your opengl driver makes the game abort, since the example config that you copied into your install directory actually disables SDL. (You could also run lincity-ng --sdl). Some more infortmation about your opengl driver and configuration could help solving this. (Though I'm not sure if I can do much about broken opengl drivers...)
I am using a via unichrome OpenGL with latest dri + xorg. lincity-ng --sdl aborts as well by the way. Unfortunately the OpenGL doesn't work very well, it runs out of texture space and so many of the game's textures are just white boxes. So, I disable OpenGL. (Other games such as neverball have a similar problem.) <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <video x="1024" y="768" useOpenGL="no" fullscreen="yes" /> <audio soundEnabled="yes" soundVolume="100" musicEnabled="yes" musicVolume="70" /> <game upgradeTransport="yes" instantBulldoze="yes" showDay="yes" /> </configuration> This works in ~/.lincity-ng/userconfig.xml ... so does changing x and y to 800 by 600. So does turning OpenGL to "yes" (it runs but with problems see above). So does copying this same file to /usr/share/lincity-ng/userconfig.xml . So what am I to say about your comment that the package is fine? It is not fine for me, and putting userconfig.xml in the directory fixes the problem for me.
Sounds like a local problem. Since you seem to want to fix it yourself anyhow (based on comment #6), feel free to do that.
I do NOT want to fix the bug myself. I want to use a working linux distribution or get an Apple. I want bugfixes to happen. I am tired of this gentoo nonsense.
I just merged it on a brand-new system, and it WORKSFORME, also.
