The ghostscript-viewer plugin fails to configure properly (ie, USE=pdflib) if sylpheed-claws headers and sylpheed-claws.pc are not already installed. The work-around is to emerge twice, the first time with USE="-pdflib" and the second time with. The ebuild part where econf does the ghostscript-viewer plugin needs to include the headers from the sylpheed-claws src dir, as well as tell pkg-config where to find sylpheed-claws.pc (which is not installed yet either). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmerge sylpheed-claws 2. USE="pdflib" emerge sylpheed-claws -v 3. watch econf die Actual Results: sylpheed-claws ebuild fails Expected Results: it should build sarnold@rama gentoo $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-wolk4.9s) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-wolk4.9s i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 distcc 2.11.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -funroll-loops" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -funroll-loops" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs sandbox buildpkg ccache distcc userpriv usersandbox cvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="oss apm foomaticdb jpeg libg++ mad mikmod pdflib quicktime spell berkdb slang readline arts java sdl libwww ssl perl imlib kde motif aalib acl acpi avi bonobo cdr crypt cups dga directfb dvd emacs encode evo fbcon gb gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gtkhtml gtk imap ipv6 lcms ldap junit mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses opengl pam pda png plotutils python postgres qt samba sasl slp tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype X xml xml2 xv zeo zlib alsa esd lame ogg vorbis oggvorbis xmms x86 mmx 3dnow -nls -svga"

I hacked up the pdf-viewer thing, and the pkg-config thing below works: # build the ghostscript-viewer plugin if use pdflib then cd ${S2} PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${S}:/usr/lib/pkgconfig econf \ --with-sylpheed-dir=${S} || die emake || die fi I also tried adding the CPPFLAGS thing, which is supposed to work, but didn't: CPPFLAGS="-I/${S}/src -I/${S}/src/common -I/${S}/src/gtk \ I'm still clueless, so maybe my syntax is hosed. However, the plugin configure needs to find the sylpheed includes. Hope this helps.
it's getting the include dirs from the pkgconfig file, we need to patch that. I'm on it.
actually -- I was about to check in a fix
fixed
