At the start of the "meld" install, the following message is printed: >>> md5 src_uri ;-) meld-1.0.0.tar.bz2 * * Meld requires gnome-python-extras be built * with gtkhtml use flag set to enable line * numbering and source highlighting. * * You need to re-emerge gnome-python-extras * with gtkhtml use flag.

yes this is an error, committed fix in cvs. you can just remove that section from pkg_setup in the ebuild if you don't want to resync / wait for it to be pushed out later today. thanks for the report!
