As it is now media-gfx/graphviz compiles with "--disable-sfdp", without giving the user any option. This is a very useful layout engine for visualizing large graphs, and it should be enabled by default, since it does not introduce any new depedency. At the very least there should be a use flag to allow it. The same thing holds for the "smyrna" visualizer, but it does depend on sci-libs/gts, so it should be enabled only with an use flag. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 229507 [details] New ebuild This is an ebuild which fixes the problem. Everything has been working perfectly for me with sfdp enabled. This ebuild also adds a "smyrna" use flag, for optional compilation of the smyrna visualizer (which is work in progress, apparently, but compiles and runs).
