When emerge dev-ruby/rails, and portage attempts to build rb-inotify, error was apear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emergeing rb-inotify Actual Results: ERROR: dev-ruby/rb-inotify-0.8.8 failed (compile phase): failed to (re)build documentation Expected Results: pass without errors I think, that doc USE flag on this package need add a dev-ruby/jeweler as a dependency. Without that flag rb-inotify build corectly. Emerge maruku and jeweler before rb-inotify make correct build with doc flag too.

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
The problem was an unneeded dependency on maruku. This is now fixed in CVS. Thanks for the report.
