Just pointing the ebuild to the new snapshot does not help either. The snapshot does not have a configure script. There is an autogen script in the xsvg subdirectory though.
OK, my error. The SRC_URI should be: SRC_URI="http://cairographics.org/snapshots/${PV}.tar.gz" You can workaround this bug by downloading the following file and putting it in your DISTDIR: http://cairographics.org/snapshots/xsvg-0.1.2.tar.gz Will fix the ebuild when I get home tonight. Thanks for reporting. Tom P.S. Would people prefer snapshots to "official" releases?
OK, the fix is in CVS. For some unknown reason, ebuild tries to download xsvg-0.1.2.tar.gz from xsvg.org, not cairographics.org, on my system when I run ebuild on the .ebuild directly. Hopefully it'll work for you. Do let me know if there are any problems. Tom
