+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #111413 +++ I tried to emerge avahi on a ppc system. on the configure part it fails with: checking for python module gtk... yes checking for python module dbus... yes checking for python module socket... yes checking for python module gdbm... no configure: error: Could not find Python module gdbm !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/avahi-0.5.2/work/avahi-0.5.2/config.log I'm guessing this is a missing dependency...
