app-biology/clustalx appears to be requireing libvibrant but makes mo mention of it. It therefor fails to build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Okay, I tracked this down. ClustalX needs to check to see that ncbi-tools was compiled with the "X" use flag. Perhaps simply check to see if the lib file exists and then if it doesn't throw a warning/error like pango does about cairo?
Hi Brady, "libvibrant" is part of the NCBI toolkit. Since you compiled this package without X in your "USE" flags, the library was not installed. As you noticed, recompiling the NCBI tools with X support solved the issue. Strictly speaking, the ebuild for ClustalX is not missing a dependency. The problem is rather that Portage does not support depending on a package compiled with a given set of "USE" flags. Until this is implemented, there will be no "clean" solution for this bug. I have added a check for X support in the NCBI tools as you suggested, but this is really only a workaround. Thanks for reporting.
Sorry to not explain things better! Checking/informing the user of the error is really all I was after. Thanks for your speedy reply to this issue!
Olivier, Could you elaborate on why built_with_use() from eutils.eclass is insufficient for this?
Donnie: Because the user who has -X in his USE flags and who types "emerge clustalx" is still screwed: he will compile ncbi-tools without X support, and immediately afterwards will be asked to recompile the package with X support enabled. Not exactly a clean solution. (I use "built_with_use" to do the check but I think depending on a package built with a given USE flag is a long overdue missing feature in Portage.)
