Re: [Openexr-devel] Problems compiling OpenEXR in Linux

looks like a library interface problem to me though I might be wrong.

You could do an:

# emerge sync
# emerge -uDav world
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# emerge media-libs/openexr

Which will update your system including 'deep' dependencies. Often that 
helps as it updates all libs to the newest versions.
On my Gentoo/AMD64 system with the same kernel and gcc versions you 
listed the build goes through just fine.

If the deep world update doesn't help, you can try with an older gcc:

# emerge =sys-devel/gcc3.2.3

Switch to that gcc version:

# gcc-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.3
[2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.2

# gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.3
# source /etc/profile
# emerge media-libs/openexr


Hope that helps.


Cheers,

Moritz
