i don't know if this will completely solve the problem but you ought to be able to get one step closer by not linking vic statically. in the long run, somebody will need to adapt the configure script to disable static linking. but you might be able to get around this quickly -- first you'll need to go into the vic build directory (i'm not familiar with the gentoo packaging tools so i don't know where that is). in that directory, edit the Makefile, find the line "STATIC = -static" and change it to "STATIC =". then run make again and vic ought to link this time. if you're lucky the gentoo packaging tools will just take the vic executable you just produced and install it for you. if the packaging tool insists on starting the vic build over from scratch, you'll need to wait until the complete fix to the configure script is done. -Andrew
