Created attachment 290265 [details] Build log Package app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10 doesn't build without dev-util/pkgconfig/ The error is: configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10/work/gamin-0.1.10': configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DAEMON_CFLAGS and DAEMON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>. See `config.log' for more details Please, add dev-util/pkgconfig as a buildtime dep of app-admin/gam-server-0.1.10.

See above, and then see the gam-server ebuild: if ! has_version dev-util/pkgconfig; then export DAEMON_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/$(get_libdir)/glib-2.0/include" export DAEMON_LIBS="-lglib-2.0" fi So no pkg-config is required. Works just fine here after 'emerge -C pkgconfig'.
Reopen with the config.log attached if you still think there is a bug.
Yes, you are right. Sorry for bothering.
