[Description André Terpstra 2016-12-31 06:11:35 UTC]

ruby 2.4 requires dev-ruby/xmlrpc-0.2.1 as a dependency but it won't install. It is not the bundler dependency reported yesterday. Th error message seems to point at a a missing java installation but that wasn't the problem either.

Do you have dev-vcs/git installed?
 
On a fresh installation I had have exactly the same problem. Installing git solved it.

No I don't. Should I?

Thankyou that worked for me! I went for dev-ruby/git which of course brings in dev-cvs/git and was then able to install dev-ruby/xmlrpc ok.

Having looked through the build log my first inclination was to install git, especially as another machine with git installed had installed xmlrpc ok, however upon realising that the xmlrpc tarball had downloaded and unpacked without problem I discarded that theory, cost me a few hours :(

Fixed in place by avoiding the git-specific code during built time.
