got error merging gnome-user-docs-2.22.1 while trying to install gnome It was caused by missing dependency: libxml2 fixed by doing emerge libxml2 Reproducible: Always
libxml2 is a runtime dependency of gnome-doc-utils so it should have been there.
also please add emerge --info and build.log next time.
(In reply to comment #2) > also please add emerge --info and build.log next time. > This user had the same problem. There are more details. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-698295.html
failure to upgrade from python 2.4 to python 2.5 is more likely.
Same issue here. Maybe not a python-update failure. This is a fresh 2008.0 install on sparc.

same here, recently updated world, did revdep-rebuild's, etc... then trying to emerge gnome gets this: f [ -f "C/user-guide.xml" ]; then d="../"; else d="/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.22.1/work/gnome-user-docs-2.22.1/gnome2-user-guide/"; fi; \ (cd ar/ && \ `which xml2po` -e -p \ "${d}ar/ar.po" \ "${d}C/user-guide.xml" > user-guide.xml.tmp && \ cp user-guide.xml.tmp user-guide.xml && rm -f user-guide.xml.tmp) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 35, in <module> import libxml2 ImportError: No module named libxml2 make[1]: *** [ar/user-guide.xml] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.22.1/work/gnome-user-docs-2.22.1/gnome2-user-guide' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 * * ERROR: gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.22.1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 620: Called gnome2_src_compile * environment, line 556: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "compile failure" * The die message: * compile failure -----------------
Try running python-updater. If that doesn't update libxml2, just re-emerge it. Likely you changed python versions.
