When compiling app-text/texlive-2007-r3, portage tries to compile the dependancy dev-tex/chktex before dev-texlive/texlive-latex. This obviously fails, as the former depends on the latter: .... >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: dev-tex/chktex-1.6.4 >>> Install chktex-1.6.4 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/chktex-1.6.4/image/ category dev-tex make -j2 install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/chktex-1.6.4/image/ no ChkTeX.tex make: no: Command not found make: *** [ChkTeX.dvi] Error 127 ... Problem can be resolved by emerging texlive-latex first with -1av option, then emerging app-text/texlive further. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: No LaTeX whatsoever installed 1. emerge texlive -av Actual Results: Stopped: see description Probelm needs to be resolved by modifying the mergin order
well... chktex depends on latex-base which should pull a latex compiler, eg, texlive-latex unless you have broken your sysytem afaik
(In reply to comment #1) > well... chktex depends on latex-base which should pull a latex compiler, eg, > texlive-latex unless you have broken your sysytem afaik > Yes, true. Which is why, assuming a texlive-install from a "latex-wise naked" system, e.g. texlive-latex should be pulled \emph{before}, not \emph{after} the chktex-install - which the ebuild does not. Having not broken my system is somewhat difficult to test/establish/disprove/whatever ... only thing is, everything else works. Which is why I suspect the problem to be somewhere in the ebuild - which I cannot check due to not knowing much about ebuilds besides emerging them.

"chktex depends on latex-base" means latex-base will be installed *before* chktex or something else is broken. What's the ebuild you're talking about that does not do this?

Don't you have tetex or latex-base in packages.provided or something?

The attempt was to get a complete LaTeX system in one rush by just emerging app-text/texlive, which should pull all the dependancies by itself. It did, in fact, but did not take into account, that chktex depends on a working latex-flavour and thus did not set the right order, i.e., installing texlive-latex before chktex. Following the gentoo-texlive guide, I understood I could install a complete TeX-distro by just emerging app-text/texlive. The app-text/texlive-2007-r3 ebuild is, as descriebed, faulty, as I had to manually change the merge-order by manually emerging texlive-latex with -1av option. Then, and only after that, the texlive-ebuild completed sucessfully as desired. In order to eliminate that difficulty, which gentoo and latex newbies might be unable to cope with, I propose to examine the app-text/texlive ebuild for merging order directives, which I myself am unable to do.
You didnt seem to get my point. While it is true that: (In reply to comment #6) > Well, no.

This is complete nonsense: > In order to eliminate that difficulty, which gentoo and latex newbies might be > unable to cope with, I propose to examine the app-text/texlive ebuild for > merging order directives, which I myself am unable to do. because chktex is expected to work without installing app-text/texlive too; so whatever is or may be in that texlive ebuild is completely irrelevant to chktex deps, and I'm afraid chktex deps really state latex-base as a dependency so you'll have to examine why this wasn't satisfied (or was satisfied but wasn't working) when installing chktex.
