On a fresh Gentoo stage3 install. When using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge gnome, gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2 fails with an error about libxml2 module not being found. I had to add libxml2 before gnome, before I could continue(When I did a -p on libxml2, it claimed it was going to be updated and not a new package to the system). USE in my make file contains: "mmx sse sse2 nptl nptlonly memlimit acpi bluetooth bash-completion gnome dvd dvdr directfb hal truetype firefox gpm hddtemp jbig lm_sensors rdesktop vnc ogg vorbis samba spell wifi win32codecs xscreensaver X svg -kde" I also had last minute additions to USE enabled via the command line: "tiff jpeg jpeg2k raw png opengl cleartype alsa mpeg ffmpeg laptop dell networkmanager toolbar swat wmf xml dbus consolekit usb" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a fresh stage3 amd64 install with no X(expected to be pulled in via gnome) do the following... 2. In make.conf, USE="mmx sse sse2 nptl nptlonly memlimit acpi bluetooth bash-completion gnome dvd dvdr directfb hal truetype firefox gpm hddtemp jbig lm_sensors rdesktop vnc ogg vorbis samba spell wifi win32codecs xscreensaver X svg -kde" 3. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="tiff jpeg jpeg2k raw png opengl cleartype alsa mpeg ffmpeg laptop dell networkmanager toolbar swat wmf xml dbus consolekit usb" emerge gnome Actual Results: gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2 fails shortly after configure complaining libxml2 is missing. emerge -p libxml2 claims it is installed and will be updated when using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" (which I did) Expected Results: Pulled in libxml2 before gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2. System is a Dell Latitude XT(Intel Core2 Duo).
please attach config.log
reopen with config.log and build.log attached
(In reply to comment #2) > reopen with config.log and build.log attached > I do not have those as I said I resolved the issue by emerging libxml2 before continuing with gnome-user-docs-2.26.2. The error was like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 35, in <module> import libxml2 ImportError: No module named libxml2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xml2po", line 35, in <module> import libxml2 ImportError: No module named libxml2 The ImportError is exactly the same. So if the libxml2 package was added to gnome-user-docs-2.26.2's emerge dependencies the error should disappear.
