Trying to install procmail I hit a known bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270551
And from emerge: [...] In file included from formail.c:25: formisc.h:20: error: conflicting types for 'getline' /usr/include/stdio.h:651: error: previous declaration of 'getline' was here make[1]: *** [formail.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mail-filter/procmail-3.22-r10/work/procmail-3.22/src' What I'm not understanding is why the current procmail is not flagged in some way... or why its still not fixed and is buggy to install with most recent OS and most recent tools. Its not, apparently a local phenomina, if its a known bug. Or are there people who have been able to install procmail with no problems using current tools? Even downloading the tar ball and building outside of emerge I hit the getline problem, so apparently something incompatible there. There is a patch offered but still one would think using standard emerge on a package that is outside the `~' daredevil stage and is not masked, it should `just work' [tm].
