[Comment 3 Juergen Rose 2012-10-11 10:21:32 UTC]

I have the same issue, if I try to emerge pyface-4.2.0 in a ssh session or at the console, even if the DISPLAY variable is set correctly and if I do not have any problems to start other X11 programms in the ssh session. But I have no problem to install pyface in a local xterm.

[Comment 4 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2012-11-10 15:10:21 UTC]

here's a clue

 nose # USE=doc emerge pyface

yielded

	    raise SystemExit(msg)
	SystemExit: Unable to access the X Display, is $DISPLAY set properly?

No protocol specified
sphinx-build: cannot connect to X server :0
make: *** [html] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/mnt/gen2/TmpDir/portage/dev-python/pyface-4.2.0/work/pyface-4.2.0/docs'

then

nose # xhost +

 nose # USE=doc emerge pyface

Note:

src_test() {
        VIRTUALX_COMMAND="nosetests -I test_editor_area_pane*" virtualmake

Do you also need to use VIRTUALX_COMMAND="emake -C docs html" virtualmake.
I would think inheriting the virtualx eclass would warrant this.

[Comment 5 Andrey Grozin 2013-04-03 16:02:46 UTC]

pyface-4.3.0 - the same failure

[Comment 6 Michał Górny 2018-04-21 15:34:23 UTC]

I don't see USE=doc in any of the current ebuilds.
