13 It's a mistake from the maintainer of the tiff ebuild. For some reason
14 he thought that an Objective C compiler is needed to build
15 media-libs/tiff. It's been masked now by the maintainer. If you don't
16 want to wait for mirrors to pick up the mask and do "emerge --sync"
17 again, please mask this version until the mistake is fixed:
18
19 echo "=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r6" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
