Well it worked with gift-0.11.6 .. so unless there is a workaround (i didn't and still don't have time to find out) .7 should be masked.

I have gift-0.11.7 and the plugins all work, however now that you've mentioned it, I notice that when I install the plugins it does say

I guess you ahd gift installed previously, thats probably why you don't have the file missing error .. i suppose.
I did a "fresh" install.

Anyway, it is weird.

I remember a long time ago, there were problems with the ebuilds putting some libraries in the wrong directories. You might want to verify that libgiftproto.* are in /usr/lib.

I haven't been able to reproduce any of this- my gift-0.11.7 builds all correctly create the required files:

I had the same issue with r1 on anoth machine (again fresh install).

But 0.11.7 is OK.

try re-emerging the package after merging it and see if that helps (emerge it twice)

Could be since i had 0.11.6-r1 then 0.11.7 and it worked, but it is too late and i don't know if unmerging would really work proprely if the ebuild has a bug.

Did you try on a fresh install too ?

Anyway it would be interesting to have feedback from more users. If someone else has this problem, he would find this topic.

What I was suggesting:
emerge =net-p2p/gift-0.11.7-r1
emerge =net-p2p/gift-0.11.7-r1

and tell me if merging it twice works.

I experienced the same problem. Emerging gift-fasttrack would stop with a linker error of not finding libgiftproto.so

After seeing your suggestion, i reemerged gift (that's gift-0.11.7 and i had no prior install) and indeed the libgiftproto.so library was there.

emerging twice worked for me, too.
