Hmm, that is odd. Is sys-devel/gettext installed? It should be because it is a dep of glib.

[Comment 4 Dan Levin 2008-07-31 23:58:09 UTC]

I did specifically emerge sys-devel/gettext-0.16.1-r1

Still, I have the same error when emerging glib

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2008-08-01 08:23:56 UTC]

I need to try this on my MacTel.

any luck in reproducing the bug?

[Comment 7 Fabian Groffen 2008-08-03 17:08:29 UTC]

works fine here, cannot reproduce :/

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2008-08-03 19:12:14 UTC]

hey, just for the fun of it... when you post emerge --info you get some output, I don't get (because noone coded it)...  Care to explain?

Re: Grobian, I'm not quite sure what more there is to explain. I just called emerge with --info and you can see the result I got.

Rather than investigate too much further, I went and rebuilt my prefix environment from scratch and the glib problem went away. However, NOW there is a problem with the USE="aqua" flag in cairo...  which I am about to file as a separate bug.
