(In reply to Fidel Leon from comment #0) > configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required > > Re-emerging dev-perl/Locale-gettext solves this issue - so marked it as > trivial. Looks invalid to me, since dev-perl/Locale-gettext is in the DEPEND and it doesn't fail to compile with -nls
Agreed, I see help2man is dependant on dev-perl/Locale-gettext, so not being pulled by "emerge help2man" means "locale-gettext" was already present in my system, so "failing a ./configure condition because of an theorically already met condition" is my reason to fill this as bug.
