I just tried emerge freevo and got an error from configure that mmpython was not found. dev-python/mmpython is in portage, so the freevo ebuild just needs to DEPEND on it.
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to provide more information. Please post the error message and emerge --info screen for starters. Freevo has depended on mmpython from the beginning: DEPEND=">=dev-python/pygame-1.5.6 >=dev-python/Imaging-1.1.3 >=dev-python/pyxml-0.8.2 >=dev-python/twisted-1.0.7 >=dev-python/mmpython-0.3 ^^^^^^^^
OK. my bad. I didn't look at the ebuild. However, portage did not try to merge mmpython for me; I had to do that manually before freevo would compile. (I got an error from freevo's configure script indicating that mmpython was not installed and where to find it at sourceforge.) I've since done that, but tracked this down from /var/log/portage: >>> Install freevo-1.4_rc2 into /home/portage/portage/freevo-1.4_rc2/image/ category media-tv checking for mmpython... not found please download it from http://www.sf.net/projects/mmpython and install it !!!

I don't know if this can be fixed any more than it is now. The DEPEND for mmpython has always been there. Can you please try unmerging mmpython and freevo and merge the new freevo-1.4_rc3 to see if the mmpython gets pulled in too. Thanks.
It has the same problem with dev-python/Imaging. bigpickle ben # emerge -s Imaging Searching...

and twisted.
I wonder if your portage depend cache is corrupt or something to that effect. Try "emerge regen" to see if it fixes things. All those depends are there, so I don't see why they aren't pulled in for you.
Is this still a problem with 1.4_rc4?
Hi, I can reproduce exactly the same problem that was described in comment #2. So the problem seems to be still there.
I found the problem. the inherit distutils-command is after the DEPEND, that overwrites the DEPEND-var, so no dependencies are resolved. putting "inherit distutils" to the top of the ebuild fixes the issue.
