You have what USE flags for gnuplot? (emerge -pv gnuplot)

$ emerge -pv gnuplot

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sci-visualization/gnuplot-4.2.2 [4.2.0-r2] USE="X pdf readline
svga -doc -emacs -gd -ggi -plotutils -tetex -wxwindows -xemacs" 0 kB

I have xemacs installed. Unmerging xemacs allows the make install to succeed.
Changed the summary to reflect this fact.

I cannot reproduce your problems with your set of USE flags.  Neither with
stable XEmacs nor testing one.  Though the rest of the system here is stable.

After doing some tests, I have determined that app-editors/xemacs fails on this
operation when app-xemacs/texinfo is not installed (sys-apps/texinfo is
unrelated). Could you please do one last check to see if you can reproduce it
now with this information?

I have looked into this, and I have seen several systems under my control
exhibiting this problem. Somehow, texinfo is never pulled in...

Anyway, this seems to be turning into an xemacs bug after all.

 There is no app-xemacs/texinfo installed here...and XEmacs is never called
with your set of USE flags.  Are you sure you have no XEmacs support activated?

> Anyway, this seems to be turning into an xemacs bug after all.

 Partly.  Maybe the dependency must be updated for USE=xemacs but it should not
be called at all with USE=-xemacs.

I am 100% sure. Even with 'USE=-xemacs emerge gnuplot' attempts to call xemacs
at 'make install' (info, to be more exact) time. I am attaching build.log for
the above emerge to aid in this. Notice that configure sees xemacs and then
sets EMACS=xemacs on doc/Makefile.

I'm not sure about that. I thought USE=xemacs just installs lisp files, which
AFAICS is unrelated to the error, which happens during texinfo documentation
generation.

Created an attachment (id=131337) [details]
The build log for USE=-xemacs emerge gnuplot

XEmacs team, please have a look at this issue, with regards on comments #5 and
#6, build.log in #8.

Aldo, I will patch out XEmacs/GNU Emacs detection if none of the two USE flags
is set, as that would be useless.

Removing XEmacs team, you are not needed!  I should think about the meaning of
three little letters and how they change the meaning of a sentence: "not".

I could not reproduce as Emacs is detected before XEmacs and I have both
installed.  Now TeXInfo generation is only done when USE=emacs or xemacs, with
the latter app-xemacs/texinfo is pulled in now. Please test my fix I just
commited (wait half an hour to let it hit the rsync mirrors).

Dropping HPPA keyword, as the don't have app-xemacs/texinfo keyworded

Very well, I have tested it in my systems. (X)Emacs are not seen by configure
when  no emacs keyword is present. We are good to go. Thanks, Christian.
