i installed in /usr/local/portage all ebuilds gnumexp depends on and then gnumexp ebuild itself. then i did emerge gnumexp. all went well until gnumexp gets compiled. i get this error: checking PYGTK_LIBS... -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 checking for gnome-python-2.0 >= 2.6.0 pyorbit-2 >= 2.0.0... yes checking GNOME_PYTHON_CFLAGS... -DORBIT2=1 -pthread -I/usr/include/pyorbit-2 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include checking GNOME_PYTHON_LIBS... -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -lORBit-2 -lm -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 checking for python module nxplot... yes checking for python module mathml.backend.nxplot_mathml... yes checking for pymathml >= 0.2.0... found checking for gconftool-2... /usr/bin/gconftool-2 Using config source xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema installation Using $(sysconfdir)/gconf/schemas as install directory for schema files checking for public "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN"... not found! configure: error: The XHTML plus MathML public identifier is not registered.

i solved it by installing xhtml-mathml-svg-dtd from tarball (make && make install). in irc the devs also told me to check with: grep math /etc/xml/catalog to see if everything it's ok. hope it helps...
There is no gnumexp package in the official tree.
In reply to: Francesco Turco Yes there is an ebuild for xhtml-mathml-svg-dtd http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76671
@jon R-B thanks for having told me!
