The configure of your package checks for flex, even though your package might not contain .l files that flex uses to generate parsers. Your ebuild does not list a dependency on flex as per http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/sys-devel/flex .

Either disable the flex test during configure to avoid false positive, or add the dependency upon flex if it's needed by your package.

Thanks in advance,
Diego

I just uninstalled flex, tested libesmtp, and also checked it's sources.
If it did need flex, then it doesn't anymore in >= 1.0.6
(Don't take offense on the resolution, I wish we had NOTABUG :-)
