emerging gnucash-gnucash-1.8.8 gives: checking for gtkhtml < 1.1... checking for gtk_html_new in -lgtkhtml... no configure: error: Cannot find gtkhtml. See the README and config.log for more info emerging libgtkhtml gives libgtkhtml-3.0.9, so that's not the one. tried to follow gtk logic and found out emerging gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1 gives libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3.0.5, which still isn't the one needed by gnucash.
attach the config.log, i'm pretty sure gnucash 1.8.8 works with gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10. the deps are right in the ebuild as well since gtkhtml-3 is gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-3 in portage. mcvaio gnucash-1.8.8 # for x in /usr/lib/gnucash/*.so; do ldd $x; done | grep gtkhtml libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40430000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40540000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40a35000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40a75000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40792000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x4011b000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40291000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x4043a000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x408bd000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x408b5000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40546000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40990000) libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3 (0x40ee2000) also, please attach all relevent information such as emerge info and the relevent package versions.

there should be a /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so symlink to /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3.0.5 does that exist on your system?
/usr/lib/libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3.0.5 is installed by gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1. but the config.log shows: checking for gtkhtml < 1.1... checking for gtk_html_new in -lgtkhtml... no note the "<"
don't believe what the print statement says. the check it only checking for -lgtkhtml and the function gtk_html_new, which is present in gtkhtml-1.* i'm tlaking about the file "/usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so", do you have that or not?
> i'm tlaking about the file "/usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so", do you have that or not? that's a negative! just the libgtkhtml-1.x and -3.x.
does 'qpkf -f /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so' give any output ? This link should be provided by gtkhtml-1 , which you say you have.
qpkg -f /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so said nothing. to get the thing to build i created a link myself: /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so -> libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3.0.5 which seems asking for trouble, since how can any installer/configure/linker know which version it's using?
Sorry it's been so long, got a bit snowed under. if libgtkhtml.so said nothing, then libgtkhtml-1 didn't install it or libgtkhtml-1 isn't installed. Check by trying to emerge it : 'emerge gtkhtml -vp'. Every version of gnucash has a dep on gtkhtml-1 , so i don't really see how this could happen.
I am having the same problem, with the same error message, trying to emerge both gnucash-1.8.8 and 1.8.9. Checking the libgtkhtml symlink gives: mango ~ # qpkg -f /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so gnome-extra/gtkhtml * mango ~ # I am on an amd64 system, with info as follows. Any updates on what's causing this behavior?

Just to follow up on this, I managed to get Gnucash 1.8.9 to compile by re-merging gnome-base/orbit-0.5.17, then gtkhtml, then gnucash. Dont quite know how it got broken, but maybe this will help some people out :-) Cheers, Ryan
are you still having this problem with 1.8.9 ? Bug is over a year old.
seems the symlink /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so still doesn't get created, i suppose the problem is in the gtkhtml ebuild, or at least that's where it could be fixed.
I can't verify this myself because it works fine here. Can you try re-emerging gnome-extra/gtkhtml, and then gnucash?
ok, rebuilding libgtkhtml created the link to libgtkhtml.so -> libgtkhtml-1.1.so.3.0.5
