Description Brant Gurganus 2005-12-19 18:23:35 UTC 
with USE="doc", there is a circular dependency between nasm and ghostscript. nasm wans ps2pdf from ghostscript and ghostscript wants cups which wants gnutls which wants lzo which wants nasm
Comment 1 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-04 15:21:39 UTC 
what do you expect us to do to solve this?
is this not more a nasm problem than a ghostscript one?

it is like with gcc-> gcc can use some libs, but they require gcc for being built.

How is the problem solved there?
Comment 2 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-14 11:07:05 UTC 
nasm is a compiler and we cannot do anything against this

the solution is probably to merge nasm with USE=-doc the first time.
