There appears to be a missing ebuild dependency for the xorg-x11 package. During the 'emerge system' portion of a clean gentoo installation (on x86_64, in this particular case), the compilation fails with the following error: -------------------------------------------------------------- cpp -traditional -D__apploaddir__=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults -D__appmansuffix__=3x -D__filemansuffix__=5x -D__libmansuffix__=3x -D__miscmansuffix__=7x -D__drivermansuffix__=4x -D__adminmansuffix__=8 -D__projectroot__=/usr/X11R6 -D__xconfigfile__=xorg.conf -D__xconfigdir__=/etc/X11 -D__xlogfile__=Xorg -D__xservername__=Xorg -D__xorgversion__='"" ""' -D__vendorversion__="`echo 6 7 0 | sed -e 's/ /./g' -e 's/^/Version\\\ /'` X.Org" <gluUnProject.man | sed -e '/^# *[0-9][0-9]* *.*$/d' -e '/^#line *[0-9][0-9]* *.*$/d' -e '/^[ ]*XCOMM$/s/XCOMM/#/' -e '/^[ ]*XCOMM[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/s/XCOMM/#/' -e '/^[ ]*XHASH/s/XHASH/#/' -e '/\@\@$/s/\@\@$/\\/' >gluUnProject._man rm -f gluUnProject.3x.html gluUnProject.3x-html ../../../config/util/rman -f HTML < gluUnProject._man \ > gluUnProject.3x-html && mv -f gluUnProject.3x-html gluUnProject.3x.html macro "bp" not recognized -- ignoring make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/man/GLU' make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/man' making all in doc/specs... make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/specs' making all in doc/specs/BDF... make[5]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/specs/BDF' groff -Tps -ms ../../../doc/util/macros.t bdf.ms \ 2> index.raw > bdf.nps \ && mv -f bdf.nps bdf.ps nroff -ms ../../../doc/util/macros.t bdf.ms 2> index.raw | \ col -b > bdf.txt /bin/sh: line 1: col: command not found make[5]: *** [bdf.txt] Error 127 make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/specs/BDF' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc/specs' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc/doc' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0/work/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 !!!

Sounds like you have an old sync. Current xorg-x11 ebuilds reads: DEPEND=">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.3 >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1 >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.3-r2 >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5 >=dev-libs/expat-1.95.3 >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 >=media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1 >=x11-base/opengl-update-1.7 >=x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.4 >=sys-apps/sed-4 sys-apps/util-linux dev-lang/perl media-libs/libpng >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.50_pre9 !x11-base/xfree !virtual/xft !virtual/x11" See http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0.ebuild?r1=1.17&r2=1.18.
Strange. That's exactly how my ebuild reads. I'm installing from a sync that was pulled down around 5/29/2004. Even though util-linux is listed in the DEPEND variable, it most definitely tried to build _after_ xorg-x11. When I get a little more time (and I'm not under pressure to get this workstation up), I'll see if I can recreate this problem and learn a little more about why the build order was incorrect. Thanks!
Any ideas?
