Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade app-text/poppler-utils (as part of a bigger

Just finding the real error in all that junk is the first challenge
in debugging :o) I just noticed that the word 'error' doesn't even
appear in the libtool 'error' message. Hrmphh! Yet another black
mark on libtool's report card.
Notice the double colons in "ImageStream::close()". That's a dead
giveaway that this is c++ code. Remember that, because you will see
this kind of c++ problem fairly often.
The usual suspect is that you are now using a different (newer?) gcc
to build poppler-utils than you were using when you compiled the
c++ library that's causing this problem. (Usually, but not always.)
So, which c++ library is causing the problem?
A quick and dirty check:
$grep -r ImageStream /usr/include/*
/usr/include/ImageMagick/magick/image.h: DisassociateImageStream(Image *),
/usr/include/ImageMagick/magick/methods.h:#define DisassociateImageStream
PrependMagickMethod(DisassociateImageStream)
/usr/include/poppler/Gfx.h: Stream *buildImageStream();
/usr/include/poppler/Stream.h:// ImageStream
/usr/include/poppler/Stream.h:class ImageStream { <-------- Eureka!
$equery b Stream.h
[ Searching for file(s) Stream.h in *... ]
dev-libs/poppler-0.10.7 (/usr/include/poppler/Stream.h)
So, the guilty party is poppler? Looks like it.
The cheap and dirty remedy is to re-emerge poppler, but just for my
own education (and yours, I hope) I'm slogging ahead:
The ImageStream 'class' should define a 'method' named close(). (This
is the usual and customary object-oriented paradigm.) Take a look at
Stream.h, and look for these lines:
// Close the stream previously reset
void close();
Do you see them? If not, re-emerge poppler and look again. I'd like
to know if I'm on the right track.
