Mike Frysinger I think you forgot to add the patch file nano-1.3.10-disp.patch to the portage tree.
I can't seem to find the patch anywhere on the nano's website. Removing the line epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-disp.patch and redigesting the ebuild solves the problem temporary.
the patch is on the mailing list it isnt a matter of me forgetting to add it, i accidently cut out too many patches last nite ... you should be able to grab it from viewcvs in the meantime viewcvs.gentoo.org/app-editors/nano/files/
