When trying to emerge libbonobo-2.10.1, I get the following error: make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/libbonobo-2.10.1/work/libbonobo-2.10.1/idl' /usr/bin/orbit-idl-2 -I../idl -D__Bonobo_COMPILATION -D__Bonobo_Unknown_COMPILATION -D__Bonobo_GenericFactory_COMPILATION -D__Bonobo_Activation_types_COMPILATION --imodule ../idl/Bonobo.idl /usr/bin/orbit-idl-2: error while loading shared libraries: libIDL-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Bonobo.h] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libbonobo-2.10.1/work/libbonobo-2.10.1/idl' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libbonobo-2.10.1/work/libbonobo-2.10.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 I emerged libIDL, and that seemed to fix the problem.

It's not libbonobo that depends on libIDL, it's orbit that does, and it's dep is fine. You probably need to re-emerge orbit.
The deps in libbonobo and orbit are correct. This is a local problem with /usr/bin/orbit-idl-2 on your system. Try using revdep-rebuild or re-emerging >=gnome-base/orbit-2 to fix it.
