The x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1 ebuild doesn't check the 'unicode' USE flag. It should, since it currently requires a UTF-8-capable dev-libs/libpcre, which does have a unicode flag. Therefore, a libpcre with unicode disabled with cause a goffice-0.6.1 build failure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-libs/libpcre-7.4 with -unicode 2. Attempt to emerge x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1 Actual Results: Failure during build configuration for goffice: checking for UTF-8 support in pcre... configure: error: The installed PCRE library is not configured for UTF-8 support. Expected Results: Successful build
indeed, I'll fix that later today.
the fix is in tree, the same applied to 0.4.3 ebuild so it was backported there as well. Thanks for reporting.
