I tried to compile app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11 but it failed with the following message: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-installed-iso-entities --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for groff... /usr/bin/groff checking whether /usr/bin/groff accepts -mgs... no checking for gawk... /bin/gawk checking for nsgmls... no checking for onsgmls... no configure: error: neither onsgmls nor nsgmls is found !!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /var/tmp/portage/app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11/work/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21/config.log * * ERROR: app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2233: Called econf 'src_compile' * ebuild.sh, line 513: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "econf failed" * The die message: * econf failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11/temp/environment'. * I looked up booth tools in Debian to find out that onsgmls is provided by app-text/opensp and nsgmls is provided by James Clarks' SP. http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=nsgmls&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any http://www.jclark.com/sp/ I didn't find the last one in the portage tree. emerging opensp fixed the problem for me so adding app-text/opensp as an dependency should fix the real bug.
Dependency added, thanks for your report
