The fact is, Benoît-Pierre, that this bug may be valid. If pidgin is built without any USE-flags, then ebuild echoes the warning : " * You did not pick the ncurses or gtk use flags, only libpurple will be built." Ok, makes sense. **An explanation of why it fails** From librvp ebuild : econf --with-gaim-plugin-dir=/usr/$(get_libdir)/pidgin \ --with-gaim-data-dir=/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin \ When libpurple only is build, there is no such thing as /usr/$(get_libdir)/pidgin (only /usr/$(get_libdir)/purple-2). So it will fail sooner or later. **Awful explanation** Then grep in configure from librvp to find that it uses pkg-config to check if pidgin is installed. : pkg-config --exists --print-errors "pidgin" Hence the failure with a libpurple-only build. Librvp definitely needs ncurse or gtk uses flag set. Note something as changed since pigin-2.5.2, see Diego's build log : "pidgin 2.5.2 Build GTK+ 2.x UI............. : no Build console UI.............. : yes Build for X11................. : yes" and from a USE="-*" emerge -av =pidgin-2.5.8 try : pidgin 2.5.8 Build GTK+ 2.x UI............. : no Build console UI.............. : no Build for X11................. : yes (Another thing, which may need a bug : librvp-0.9.7 is out : it may be added to the tree) So : Valid bug, even if the pidgin version Diego encountered the issue is out of the tree. I went further into testing ( my gtk2 pidgin interface), and librvp can't be built if pidgin has been built with only ncurses (pkg-configd doesn't report pidgin as installed, then build fails) (maybe there is a non trivial fix to build librvp against ncurses only pidgin, but that's below my competencies). So my guess is that librvp needs to have a hard dependence on net-im/pidgin[gtk] (EAPI2 syntax). A patch will follow.

Gef, thanks for the patch! Just make note when EAPI=2 econf should be called in src_configure() instead of src_compile() , to avoid doing configure twice. This happens because EAPI 2 splits src_compile into src_configure and src_compile.
