I just attempted an "emerge xen" with the "doc" USE flag enabled and it crashed thusly: make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xen-3.0.0_pre20050906/work/xen-unstable-20050906/docs' install -d -m0755 html/interface latex2html -split 0 -show_section_numbers -toc_depth 3 -nonavigation \ -numbered_footnotes -local_icons -noinfo -math -dir html/interface \ src/interface.tex 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null make[1]: *** [html/interface/index.html] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xen-3.0.0_pre20050906/work/xen-unstable-20050906/docs' make: *** [html] Error 2 rm user.dvi interface.dvi make: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xen-3.0.0_pre20050906/work/xen-unstable-20050906/docs' !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. I'm going to try it without "doc" and see what happens.
ebuild works fine without "doc" USE flag!
do you have "dev-tex/latex2html" installed? If not, does it compile cleanly with it? Seems there's a compile-time depedency missing if compiled with USE=doc

Appears to be a problem with latex2html. It expects to find something in the TMP directory that it creates. latex2html -split 0 -show_section_numbers -toc_depth 3 -nonavigation \ -numbered_footnotes -local_icons -noinfo -math -dir html/interface \ src/interface.tex This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2002-2-1 (1.71) by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.

Reassigning, looks like a latex2html bug to me.
It works with the previous version of latex2html for me: dev-tex/latex2html-2002.2
