do you have enough free diskspace ?

Yeah... about 952M left on the /var/tmp partition after `emerge fontconfig'
fails.

please attach the full emerge ouput

The same problem occurs on my machine.
It might be interesting to note that the directory /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.0-r2/image/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.2.0-r2/fontconfig-devel _does_ exist.

I also have this problem, and at my system the directory
"/var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.0-r2/image/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.2.0-r2/fontconfig-devel"
exists BUT IT IS EMPTY.

it isn't in the official package, might have todo witht the fact that the docs
get regenerated, but obviously not correct in your case.

I really should hack the docs stuff out, it doesn't seem react to the switch
well and i probably can just go with the docs in the tarball.

If someone could fix the makefile docs stuff it would be helpful.

I found a way to fix the problem for me, so maybe some of you might want to try
the attached ebuild and report if it works.

Digest for fontconfig-2.2.0-r3.ebuild

The 2.2.0-r3 ebuild fails with the same error, despite the fact that it applies
the installdocs patch. Was I supposed to do anything else besides copying the
ebuild file, the digest, and the patch to their respective directories?

Weird, it worked quite fine on my system.

Normally a message about the missing file in fontconfig-devel should be given, but that shouldn't stop the install. Could you give us a copy (or the last 20 lines) of your doc/Makefile _after_ trying to emerge?
You should find the file in /var/tmp/portage/fontconfig-2.2.0-r3/work/fontconfig-2.2.0/doc/Makefile

doc/Makefile

Attached is doc/Makefile, as you requested.

Same problem here, and -r3 solved it.

Created an attachment (id=12588) [details]
fontconfig-2.2.0-r3-installdocs.patch

I removed directory 'fontconfig-devel' from the DOC_DIRS variable in
doc/Makefile, and fontconfig now installs successfully on my machine.

ok, i assume you all have doc in USE ? the problem is probably the doc
generation on some systems, but we do not really need to generate the docs so
i'm just gonna disable that.

If someone is interested there are some solutions listed in the 
duplicate bug also:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21465

I havn't tried them myself, so I don't know if they work or not.
To avoid the problem I just took the short route of USE="-doc"...

*** Bug 22617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

just added 2.2.1 which always disables doc generation, please test it.

Version 2.2.1 fixed the problem for me that I reported in bug 22617.

2.2.1 works for me, as well.

ok i just put this 'fix' in 2.2.0-r2 and hope that is the end of this.

thanks for your help
