The library media-libs/memphis-0.2.3 seems to depend on dev-util/gtk-doc. It fails to merge if dev-util/gtk-doc is not installed. The error message says * Running gtkdocize --copy ... [ !! ] * Failed Running gtkdocize ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/memphis-0.2.3/temp/gtkdocize.out * ERROR: media-libs/memphis-0.2.3 failed (prepare phase): * Failed Running gtkdocize ! * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 75: Called src_prepare * environment, line 2938: Called autotools-utils_src_prepare * environment, line 548: Called autotools-utils_autoreconf * environment, line 455: Called autotools_run_tool 'gtkdocize' '--copy' * environment, line 650: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Failed Running $1 !"; * * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =media-libs/memphis-0.2.3', * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =media-libs/memphis-0.2.3'. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/memphis-0.2.3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/memphis-0.2.3/temp/environment'. * S: '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/memphis-0.2.3/work/memphis-0.2.3' So it's not that easy to figure out the real cause.
