That's not a first april joke, I really get a very strange portage behaviour.
emerge aj-snapshot ... ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 ... checking mxml.h usability... yes checking mxml.h presence... yes checking for mxml.h... yes checking for main in -lasound... yes checking for main in -ljack... yes checking for mxmlLoadFile in -lmxml... no configure: error: mxml library (mxml) is required If I go in $WORKDIR and issue exactly the same configure command, or just ./configure, it just work and I can compile the software. I also get this strange f. bug in my 2 machines. Any clue? Or is it a portage bug that must be reported? Dominique -- "We have the heroes we deserve."
