erm... I don't understand your post. sry.
perl-SDL is not the same as SDL-perl, so you can only emerge the SDL Perl lib with this command:

I've tried

Serously has anyone experienced anything similar? When I emerge frozen-bubble, portage isn't downloading anything so I assume it's already on my disk. Maybe it's corrupt. In that case where is it so that I can remove it?

Has anyone succeeded in emergeing frozen-bubble as all?

I emerged fb and its working well.

u can find the downloaded .tar in /usr/portage/distfiles/
but I think that will not fix your problem. your error msg is very clear:
I need perl-SDL installed

so i would also try a re-emerge of SDL and perl.

It wouldn't kill me not being able to play Frozen-bubble, but it's highly annoying when portage complains and I don't know why.

I have sdl-perl (I tried emerging perl-sdl, but portage couldn't find it) installed. What else does it need.

This worked for me

I seem to already have the first and third one, but what do the second one do?

Linux headers are used when compiling programs that call certain functions from the kernel. (Sorry I can't give you a better explanation...). linux-headers correspond to kernel versions 2.4.x and linux26-headers to kernel versions 2.6.x. You don't need to have the latest headers but in this case, your problem comes from the latest nvidia drivers and in order to have them work correctly, you need to install the linux26-headers (which requires to uninstall linux-headers first since it blocks) and then to recompile glibc with the NPTL use flag. Those 3 steps are the commands I previously gave you.

nptl ?

Why do I need that?

I've emerged as instructed above. If I were to do a depclean sometime in the future, would using a USE-flag like this make depclean se glibc as "obsolete"?

NPTL = Native Posix Thread Library.

Again, I don't really know what it does but from what I read it looks like it's a good thing. You can put the use flag to your make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use . When you use this use flag, it compiles two versions of glibc, one with nptl support and the other one without so glibc remains compatible with everything. If you want to use only nptl, you need an additional use flag nptlonly but it might break things...

Thank you it fixed the problem!

Might I ask how you came to the conclusion to emerge the new headers?

After I upgraded the nvidia drivers, my install of ut had stopped working. Frozen bubble was also not working and I thought it was because of a perl issue (plus I almost never play). I asked and searched on this forum and found this solution which worked for both ut and frozen bubble...

Hmm. I tried catkfr's fix (along with several others'), but it didn't work for me. I'm glad it helped someone, though.

As of right now, there are multiple threads saying the same thing in multiple languages. It seems to be an unresolved bug. :cry:

I have the same problem.

It seems I have a lot of downloading (over 56k) and compiling ahead. :evil:

oops, sorry, meant to write module-build, i'll fix it

When I merged module-build it brought in a lot of stuff so I was very hopeful. Unfotunately frozen-bubble still complains about perl-SDL

I have the same problem. I already have linux26-headers emerged for a long time and I also have nptl enabled for a long time.

I also tried libperl_rebuilder but still no joy.
