This is a request to put in some sort of check to the mozilla-firefox ebuild. I just spent some time trying to figure out why mozilla-firefox was failing during the configure. firefox said that it couldn't find pangoxft.pc anywhere and I traced that down to pango not having the USE=X set. I re-merged pango and firefox then worked. This might work: if ! built_with_use x11-libs/pango X; then eerror "Please re-emerge x11-libs/pango with the X USE flag set" die "pango needs the X USE flag set." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-X" emerge -av1 pango 2. USE="-X" emerge -av mozilla-firefox Work around is simple: emerge pango with USE=X then emerge mozilla-firefox.

Jakub, Since the firefox ebuild already has a check to see if cairo was built with X can we also get a check for pango in there. It doesn't look like bug 2272 is getting resolved anytime soon. I also just looked at some of the other duplicate bugs and my bug here is not exactly the same as them. My issue is that the ebuild *doesn't check at all* and it should (for now, until portage has a better solution) Do you agree?
