I was upgrading games-misc/opengfx (required for OpenTTD) and I received errors complaining of nmlc not found. It looks like, even if games-util/nml is installed in portage (I even re-emerged it, to be certain), there is no trace of nmlc. I had a look in /var/tmp/portage while re-emerging nml and it was there, so I manually copied in /usr/bin; after that opengfx installed without further errors. I don't know if I made some errors in my configuration (I'm updating world since about a year, and I'm getting a lot of conflicts and blockings that I am slowly resolving), but it doesn't look like it could be this.
reopen with the output of emerge --info

Can you attach the full output of the build please? Also it would be great if you can install gentoolkit and post the output from equery files nml

What version of dev-python/setuptools?
I have the latest stable version of setuptools, 0.8-r1.
Well, something's not right on your system with related to setuptools since you're getting: /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'entry_points' warnings.warn(msg) did you remember to run python-updater when you upgraded python last? Try re-emerging your python-related packages and make sure to follow any additional directions that the ebuilds print out.
As I remember I did run python-updater, to be sure I just reemerged both python-2.7, setuptools and pip (googling around resulted in similar errors regarding pip and I remember that about 6 months ago I messed around with it by mistake). Still no nmlc when installing nml and I still get that error. I checked setuptools emerge log and there's such no error, and I can't emerge every python package I have to check for the same error. Is there a package which can show a similar error? Or a specific package I could have missed that should be emerged again?
maybe the python group can help you out.
