Most of the gnome programs that I try to emerge fail because index.sgml (or index.html) get purposefully deleted by the Makefile. If I pause the ebuild, make a backup copy of index.sgml, and index.html, and then copy them back after they are deleted but before I make it that far in the ebuild, the ebuild will complete successfully. I noticed that bug #17448 is similar; I've had this problem for about 2 months now but haven't reported it as I don't really use gnome that often. Here is a sample from gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.2.0.2: ... -- Installing ./html/libgnomecanvas-gnomecanvasshape.html -- Installing ./html/libgnomecanvas-gnomecanvastext.html -- Installing ./html/libgnomecanvas-gnome-canvas-util.html -- Installing ./html/libgnomecanvas-gnomecanvaswidget.html -- Installing ./html/index.sgml /bin/install: cannot stat `./html/index.sgml': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libgnomecanvas-2.2.0.2/work/libgnomecanvas-2.2.0.2/docs/reference' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 ..
