Some ebuilds won't compile ?

Hi !

I have problems with 2 ebuilds, which won't compile (ZNES and celestia).
Configure is creating a Makefile, but the compilation quits after a while.
The error messages don't tell me, why compilation stops.
I know there are many reasons for this , but what could be the most probable ?
Are some of my packages too old ?

Can you post some of the error messages? It is hard to help with so little info.

You're right, sorry.
Well, i waited a few days and now at least ZSNES compiles and works. (I really would like to know what the problem was). However celestia still won't compile. I guess it has something to do with this "previous declaration of '---------" error. I get tons of messages this kind.

Any idea ?

That fix works fine, too bad everything isn't that simple
