Bugzilla Bug 105767

I just attempted an "emerge xen" with the "doc" USE flag enabled and it crashed
thusly:

`/var/tmp/portage/xen-3.0.0_pre20050906/work/xen-unstable-20050906/docs'

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

Yes ... here it is:

znmeb@DreamGate ~/azureus $ emerge -pv latex2html

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-tex/latex2html-2002.2.1_pre20041025  +gif +png 1,097 kB

Do I maybe need a different version of latex2html??

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

It got cut somewhere:

Reassigning, looks like a latex2html bug to me.

It works with the previous version of latex2html for me:
dev-tex/latex2html-2002.2
