tail of failed emerge output

I downloaded bochs 2.2 source and tried to make it by hand. It complained
something about libosp.so.4 not being found, so I traced to which package this
belongs and tried to upgrade it and it worked! After that I tried to emerge
bochs 2.1.1 and it worked too!

the package is app-text/opensp, it is used for generating documentation as I
understand. bochs needs =app-text/opensp-1.5.1 otherwise it won't emerge
(dependency problem?).

This doesn't seem to be true, at least for x86. I have a happily emerged Bochs
2.1.1 without opensp, openjade, et. al, and I'd rather not have this problem
solved for some by saddling everyone else with even more dependancies.

The relivant use flags are -debugger +gtk2 +readline +sdl -wxwindows.

you're right, i have unmerged docbook and opensp stuff from my system and was
able to build bochs manualy without any problems. in the configure script
output i found these two lines:

checking for docbook2html... not_found
checking whether to build docbook documentation... no

which means that if i don't have docbook it will not build documentation but it
won't fail because of this, however if i do have docbook2html... only then i
might be having more problems...

I'll try to fix it in a cleaner way and maybe provide a ~ snapshot of the
upcoming release

Is still a problem?

reopen if is.

Can we at least drop the incorrect depedency on opensp? Bochs does NOT require
this package to build.
