Typing "emerge gnome" the compilation fails at the configure step of libgnomecanvas package (something pango-related). I don't have ~x86 in my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, so I'm expecting stable packages only. See the output below. I'm also including output of "emerge info" FYI. ---------------------------------------------- checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8 pango >= 1.0.1 pangoft2 >= 1.0.1...

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pangoxft.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'pangoxft', required by 'GDK', not found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8 pango >= 1.0.1 pangoft2 >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. !!!

what pango do you use ? what xfree ? try (re)emerging xft->fontconfig->pango->gtk+ see if it works then.
