When compiling epdfview, compilation fails with the error /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:32:2: error: #error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to build app-text/epdfview-0.1.8 2. config stage runs 3. compilation starts 4. compilation stops with error mentioned above Actual Results: Compilation fails Expected Results: I believe there are many different packages exhibiting this problem. >>> Emerging (1 of 7) app-text/epdfview-0.1.8 * epdfview-0.1.8.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

I believe I understand what happened: I ran emerge --sync and attempted to perform an emerge -vDu world but this failed because a shared-library (sorry, I don't remember which one) could not be linked. I reasoned that it was probably a case of something being broken, so I ran revdep-rebuild -i and this resulted in the error reported above after rebuilding a few modules. So after all this I ran emerge -vDu world which proceeded to install a new glib. I expect this was the problem, at first I could not update because there were too many broken modules, so the new glib (that fixes the compilation error) could not get installed. Running the revdep-rebuild fixed enough breakage to allow the new glib to install and PROBLEM SOLVED I don't believe there is any way around this problem (which appears to have been reported many times) other than the steps I explained above. Thank you for reading.
Scratch that. Turns out since the update was so big I posted my result too early and the bug is still present.
