There should be a nicer way to inform the user that you need xml if you have xmlrpc in your use-flags. Trying to get the relevant last lines of emerge output: checking whether to enable XML support... no checking libexpat install dir... no checking for XMLReader support... no checking for XMLRPC-EPI support... yes checking libexpat dir for XMLRPC-EPI... no checking iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI... no configure: error: XML-RPC extension requires LIBXML extension, add --enable-libxml !!!

Fixed in CVS now, the "xmlrpc" USE flag depends on the "xml" USE flag, thanks for reporting this! Best regards, CHTEKK.
