xcin-2.5.3_pre2 and libtabe-0.2.5 are asking for db3, but db3 should was db-3 in Gentoo, so that xcin and libtabe are unable to find the header files and refuse to configure. workarounds are in attachments.
Created attachment 20199 [details] patched libtabe-0.2.5.ebuild maybe someone would like to add a -r1 after the version number.
Created attachment 20200 [details, diff] libtabe patch to search for db-3 put the fine in /usr/portage/app-i18n/libtabe/files/libtabe-0.2.5/libtabe_0.2.5_db3_db-3.patch
Created attachment 20201 [details] patched xcin-2.5.3_pre2.ebuild maybe someone would like to add a -r1 after the version number, too.
Created attachment 20202 [details, diff] xcin patch to search for db-3 put this in /usr/portage/app-i18n/xcin/files/xcin-2.5.3_pre2/xcin_2.5.3_pre2_db3_db-3.patch
thanks for the patches. i've added them to the existing version but didn't bump the revisions because they didn't add any new feature to the ebuilds. i've cleaned up the libtabe and xcin ebuilds as well, so it a little more managable.
fix confirmed, bug closed.
