The ebuild only depends on >=gaim-1.5.0 but the actual package depends on >=gaim-2.0.0 -- checking for GAIM... configure: error: Package requirements (gaim >= 2.0.0) were not met: Requested 'gaim >= 2.0.0' but version of Gaim is 1.5.0 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GAIM_CFLAGS and GAIM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Well, the ebuild doesn't even DEPEND on it, it's just RDEPENDs (which apparently won't fly either).
fixed in cvs. Thanks
