I don't know how to fix your problem (sorry); just wanted to mention
that the reason that the version is still claimed to be 0.99.14 is
because it *is* 0.99.14-- usually revisions (-r#) relate to the *ebuild*
being revised, not the program.  If the program is itself revised,
upstream changes the version number most of the time; for example to
0.99.15, indicating a relatively minor release update. This is a good
thing, because if the source has changed, you will then have to download
a new tarball due to the new release number, whereas if Gentoo revised
an updated tarball with an -r1, you would probably miss the changes,
because the old tarball would still be in /distfiles/ and Portage would
not think it had to download a new one.

Good luck with solving the issue with the program itself.
