After installing dev-cpp/ms-gsl manually the build works.

The ebuilds depend on dev-cpp/ms-gsl.
Why was it not installed as dep with mixxx?

Agree, it sounds wrong. Please also share the full build.log and emerge --info.

Interestingly, after uninstalling both via emerge --depclean, now it resolves properly… i'm puzzled. Can't reproduce anymore. Closing as invalid.
