Apparently it tries to do something with ghostscript ("gs") during the tests, which can not work without it being installed. The tests pass when app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.10-r2 is installed. excerpt from build.log: * Package: dev-python/pillow-2.4.0 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: python@gentoo.org * USE: abi_x86_32 elibc_glibc jpeg jpeg2k kernel_linux python_targets_py thon2_7 python_targets_python3_2 test truetype userland_GNU x86 zlib * FEATURES: preserve-libs sandbox test userpriv usersandbox [...] running test_imagefile ...

This problem is supposed to be fixed by upstream in Pillow >=2.5.0. Please uninstall Ghostscript and run test suite of Pillow >=2.5.0.
(In reply to Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis from comment #1) > This problem is supposed to be fixed by upstream in Pillow >=2.5.0. > Please uninstall Ghostscript and run test suite of Pillow >=2.5.0. I can not currently test this on the same machine where I had the original problem, since someone(?) decided to make weird changes to PYTHON_TARGETS regarding python3_2 in the current portage tree, and that box hasn't been upgraded from python:3.2 to python:3.3 yet. I did try it on another machine, and that ran into further problems: the pillow ebuild blindly tries to run "nosetests" without having the required dependency on dev-python/nose... Of cause, if the machine is configured globally to run tests, some other packages usually will have required nose (notably sys-libs/cracklib), but this wasn't the case on this virtual machine ;)
