dev-python/pygments tries to download setuptools itself inside src_compile if setuptools isn't installed. >>> Starting src_compile --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script requires setuptools version 0.6c3 to run (even to display help). I will attempt to download it for you (from http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/), but you may need to enable firewall access for this script first. I will start the download in 15 seconds. (Note: if this machine does not have network access, please obtain the file http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg and place it in this directory before rerunning this script.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c3-py2.4.egg Looks like it's a missing dep: * dev-python/setuptools gentoo: 0.6_rc3* (0.6_rc6)K (0.6_rc7-r1)K {:0} Build dependencies: >=dev-lang/python-2.4.2 virtual/python Run dependencies: >=dev-lang/python-2.4.2
Fixed.
