Bugzilla Bug 136402

While trying to compile meld 1.1.3, I get:
 *
 * Meld requires pygtk to be built with the gnome use flag set.
 * Please re-emerge pygtk with the gnome use flag set.
 *

!!! ERROR: dev-util/meld-1.1.3 failed.

Problem is:
# emerge -pv pygtk

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-python/pygtk-2.8.6  USE="opengl -doc" 739 kB

uses no gnome use flag.

Same problem here. It would be nice to see it solved or at least a known
workaround.

I just tried this here, and it worked fine:

There's a < check in meld.  Which version of portage do you guys have? (hint:
emerge info in bug reports...)

My guess is that you emerged meld with prior version of pygtk (which add the
gnome use flag) and afterwards updated pygtk... 

Still, here's emerge --info:

No, I just emerged meld with the versions specified.

I have a newer version of portage, so my guess is that's it.  However,
allanonjl is going to fix this a different way.

i moved the version specific part of the test into a has_version, so this
problem should be fixed now.

Fixed here!
