Martin, want to confirm this and add this in the next ebuilds that you create? 
Comment 2 Martin Väth 2008-07-21 06:50:35 UTC
I have no access to a gentoo machine in the moment,
but isn't pkg-config part of system anymore?

Anyway, the build should be successful also without pkg-config:
IIRC the pkg-config LDFLAGS for sqlite are just preferred  over the
default "-lsqlite" if the pkg-config run was successful; I just made no attempt
to hide the error message of that call (and I do not intend to do so).
Comment 3 Martin Väth 2008-07-21 18:22:55 UTC
Closing as invalid, since eix compiles fine without pkg-config, and I do not
consider an unexplained stderr message of ./configure as a bug.
Anyway, >=eix-0.13.3 will print a warning after showing the error message,
explaining what is going on.

Please re-open (or open a new bug) if missing pkg-config really causes a problem
on your system (in this case, it would really be a bug; however, I re-testd on my
systems and had no such problems)
