After installing gnuplot-4.2.0 emacs complains: "File `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/info-look.elc' was not compiled in Emacs" and stops to read configurations. It semes, that /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/info-look.elc was compiled with: emacs version 21.4 (patch 20) "Double Solitaire" XEmacs Lucid Regards Juergen Reproducible: Always
I cannot reproduce here. There is no such file as info-look.elc on my system. Please provide the following information, but before test with gnuplot-4.2.0-r1 which has been just committed. 1) equery b /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/info-look.elc 2) your ~/.emacs file (please strip all private information) 3) emerge --info 4) equery f gnuplot 5) emerge -pv gnuplot

I think I can tell how your problems were created. Let me guess: You have GNU Emacs AND XEmacs support activated. First the emacs USE flag is used and the files are compiled and installed into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ (which is not wanted by the ebuild, but the Makefile's default is never overriden). Now USE=xemacs is detected, the Makefile is called again (wanted target /usr/share/xemacs/site-packages/). Due to an ebuild error /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ is used again und all files for GNU Emacs are overwritten. Thus Emacs tries to load the XEmacs support files. This is fixed. Closing.
