which version of gtk-doc and gtk-doc-am do you have ?
(In reply to comment #1) > which version of gtk-doc and gtk-doc-am do you have ? > dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10-r1 dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1
please reemerge them as I can't reproduce this bug here.
No idea what original problem was, but re-emerge of gtk-doc and gtk-doc-am fixed everything. Thanks!
