Pan won't build if NLS is not in USE. This is because configure fails. Attached is a pacth which fixed this ebuild.
Created attachment 417 [details, diff] pan-0.11.2-0.11.2-r1.patch * fixes nls problem
Thanks for the catch and the patch. What I did, however, was throw the touching bit into src_compile(). ./configure does not like it, but it doesn't halt because of not finding that directory. Makes for a cleaner ebuild, anyway, since the nls stuff is grouped together (flag setting and directory/file touching) and no special unpacking instructions.
