Very similar to Bug 46929 pertaining to same error condition on build of nautilus 2.4.2 Utilized Bug 46929 comment #18 workaround modified for gthumb paths and options (see below), and the compile/merge was completely successful. It seems the "/usr/bin/orbit-idl-2" command executed in the work tree at "/var/tmp/portage/gthumb-2.2.0/work/gthumb-2.2.0/components/image-viewer" needs to have the includes added ("-I /usr/share/idl/bonobo-activation-2.0 -I /usr/share/idl/bonobo-2.0") which is what the semi-manual steps in the referenced workaround accomplish somehow. The adapted workaround: cd /var/tmp/portage/gthumb-2.2.0/work/gthumb-2.2.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man\ --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc\ --localstatedir=/var/lib make touch ../../.compiled cd /usr/portage/media-gfx/gthumb-2.2.0 ebuild gthumb-2.2.0.ebuild merge Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fresh stage3-i686 LiveCD 2004.0 w/i686-GRP set 2. 'emerge sync' (as of 04/11/2004) 3. 'emerge gthumb' (should install 2.2.0) Actual Results: Step 3 fails with error keywords: "Bonobo.idl: No such file or directory" and "Error: `Bonobo' undeclared identifier" in the file "nautilus-view-component.idl" Expected Results: It should have the includes added so it can resolve the reference to "Bonobo.idl" in "/usr/share/idl/bonobo-2.0" - then the compile and merge complete correctly. No additional info provided, as the workaround AND seminal solution are already outlined above - someone with the skills just needs to figure out where to add the proper includes to the "/usr/bin/orbit-idl-2" command in the build to form the resolution steps for both this issue and the related Bug 46929.
