Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'fontconfig' found configure: error: Library requirements (fontconfig) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/poppler-0.3.0-r1/work/poppler-0.3.0/config.log !!! ERROR: app-text/poppler-0.3.0-r1 failed. !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. # emerge -pv fontconfig These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.3 732 kB ------ Seems like the ebuild did not pull in fontconfig prior. It pulled in everything else needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
