The only record I find of this issue is bug 1307 in our bugzilla:

http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/accessgrid/show_bug.cgi?id=1307

which was filed by you. I don't have a solution for the problem and unfortunately don't have much time to look at it presently, but if you dig into it I'd be willing to help out where I can (I've been involved in building the Gentoo ebuilds to date).

Hmmm, I'd forgotten about that bug. I think this is an unrelated issue. The issue in bug #1307 is that /etc/env.d/99globus sets LIBPATH and at least in 2005-05, portage (or gcc-config) didn't like that. I can't verify if that is still a bug because I can't get to the point where 99globus is installed because of the issues mentioned earlier (the RUNPATH/RPATH business).

Let me know if you start to look, so we can stay in synch if I find time to look at it.

I have opened Bug #1431 to track this RUNPATH issue. Cheers, Colin p.s., I joined ag-tech so you don't need to CC me. -- Colin Macdonald Graduate Student, Dept. of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University mail: cbm[at]sfu[dot]ca, phone: 604.268.6689 (office)
