stalled with error msg

Expected Results:  
complete compile and installation

I need the version number of sci-geosciences/gpsd [1] installed on your system, please.

I looked at the ebuild file again tonite ,noticed that gdal was also a dependency so installed that,but the compile fell over at the 97% mark GpsdPositionProvider.
Which I gather was around the same area.

2.38 and 2.39 both have eph
2.39 introduces the MAJOR_VERSION, sets it to 3.
2.90 introduces epx, epy and removes eph, but does not change MAJOR_VERSION even though that change was incompatible. Therefore we can't rely on MAJOR_VERSION only, but need another check. Checking if WATCH_ENABLED is #defined should be fine as that was introduced with 2.90.

@Torsten: You're still running a 2.3x version of gpsd, right? Can you test if it still works fine with the additional check for WATCH_ENABLE?

#if defined( GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION ) && ( GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 ) 
should become 
#if defined ( WATCH_ENABLE ) && defined( GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION ) && ( GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 ) 

@Geoff: Up- or downgrading to any other gpsd version should fix it for you if you don't want to wait for KDE 4.5.3 or a Gentoo patch.

The update to 2.95 fixed the problem,I'm curious as to why this wasn't included into the update ebuild ,as this would have pulled in the later version ,and the problem wouldn't have arisen,still things are now progressing,,, Thank's
