I just wanted to build gpsdrive and it requires gdal in some way. It looks for hdf but doesn't seem to have it as a dependency, I don't quite understand the problem here because the gdal ebuild does indeed depend on hdf if the hdf useflag is set, which is the case on my system. When I emerge hdf and after that gpsdrive, gdal is installed without a problem.

ok maybe not. later, compilation fails because of bug 232902
I guess I don't quite understand this one... Obviously built_with_use will fail if hdf is not installed, however, it's in the DEPEND list for gdal, so I don't see how it can get to the gdal ebuild without installing HDF first, if, as you say, you had USE=hdf set. Any ideas?
I don't understand it either. But I just unmerged hdf and tried merging gpsdrive, that'll pull in gdal which I still haven't installed due to the other bug... and I end up with the exact same trace as in the original post. I have hdf, hdf5 and netcdf enabled and I can't make any sense of the ebuild. postgres is disabled, I thought maybe the "||" operator would do some ugly things. But as I see it we should end up having the hdf5 and hdf packages pulled in. Unmerging hdf5 and merging gpsdrive again works as expected, in the sense that hdf5 is pulled in. hdf and hdf5 don't seem to block each other... this is about as far as I can investigate with my limited use/ebuild knowledge. I hope maybe some of my thoughts above ring a bell or maybe if you have a look at the ebuild, you can see some problem with it...?
Well, even though the packages don't conflict, it seems like I remember something about HDF and netcdf not getting along with each other. If you really need all three, then try a newer gdal; if not, then I'd recommend removing the one(s) you don't use/need. The only thing I can think of with respect to the ebuild logic is how the "or" is handled when you have netcdf installed (but not hdf). You could try removing the the || ( ) parts around netcdf/hdf in the ebuild and see if that behaves more sanely.
I've updated the latest two gdal versions (1.5.2 and 1.5.3) so the logic is a little more straight-forward. Please try one of these and see if it works for you.
No complaints, closing...
