There is two glabels, the "old" 3-series, and the newer "qt" 4-series, you can get them with: git clone https://github.com/jimevins/glabels.git git clone https://github.com/jimevins/glabels-qt.git /// BTW, reading glabels-qt/docs/BUILD-INSTRUCTIONS-LINUX.md I see the following excerp: << As of version 0.99, GNU Barcode no longer installs its library.

app-text/barcode doesn't provide the lib needed, see below.

I tried this:
# echo app-office/glabels barcode -eds > /etc/portage/package.use/glabels
# emerge -aqv app-office/glabels
[ebuild R ] app-office/glabels-3.4.1 USE="barcode -eds"
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-office/glabels-3.4.1::gentoo
>>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 runningLoad avg: 1.41, 0.88, 0.52^C
I.e. I killed the build process so I could look at the tempdir contents
(why doesn't "FEATURES=noclean emerge -aqv app-office/glabels" work ?).

So, glabels tries to use barcode, but there is no lib found.
Looking at /var/db/pkg/app-text/barcode-0.99/CONTENTS, I see that
barcode doesn't provide a lib.
$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/barcode.git
$ cd barcode
$ cat library.c
...
struct Barcode_Item *Barcode_Create(char *text)
{
struct Barcode_Item *bc;
bc = malloc(sizeof(*bc));
if (!bc) return NULL;
memset(bc, 0, sizeof(*bc));
bc->ascii = strdup(text);
bc->margin = BARCODE_DEFAULT_MARGIN; /* default margin */
return bc;
}
...
So Barcode_Create() exists, but barcode doesn't build the needed
library.

In other words, it doesn't know where the package came from since it is no longer in the database. You don't mention what version you're using but here is the current info for that package. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-text/barcode It shows 0.99 as the only version available. Is that the version you have installed? If not, you may need to sync and then update to that version. You can only hope that the new version works as you expect. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

The only difference after installation I've notice question mark in a bracket, instead of "I" eix app-text/barcode [?] app-text/barcode Normally, after compiling it shows [I] The package compiled without any errors.
