I was making a small system from latest stage3 and building a set of net tools, one (probably dsniff) needed libnids, but libnids didn't emerge because there was no glib. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start without glib 2. emerge libnids 3. profit! er... Workaround: emerge glib, restart emerge
It's an optional dep. It's done in a way that doesn't look compatible with use_enable.
...though attaching the build log would be nice of you.

Thanks for reporting! It is fixed now. (In reply to comment #1) > It's an optional dep. > > It's done in a way that doesn't look compatible with use_enable. Does not look optional to me if ./configure fails without glib present.
