Since i mostly use gpdf for viewing PDF-documents, I never noticed /usr/bin/xpdf not existing, until I started configuring mozplugger. I unlinked "app-text/xpdf" and re-emerged it, and it seemed to compile and install the ebuild, but it still did not create /usr/bin/xpdf. I had exactly the same problem with "sys-apps/which-2.16" a while back. It seemed to compile and install normally, but it didn't install the executable. As a result, some ebuilds that relied on "/usr/bin/which" also broke. Downgrading to which-2.14 fixed the problem, but for some reason I couldn't find a bug report on it anywhere and I had to keep manually masking version 2.16 to prevent it from getting updated. Eventually (for some unknown reason) this problem with which-2.16 somehow vanished when I tried emerging it a while later. But strangely, nobody ever made a "which-2.16-r1" or something like that. It's just like the bug had quietly disappeared by itself. That begs the question: am I doing anything stupid, since this issue was apparently never reported by anyone else? By the way, downgrading xpdf-3.0.0-r1 to xpdf-3.0.0 does NOT fix this problem on my system.
see bug 26613 and 37111 just had the same problem, after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0-r1 xpdf was gone. do you have this warning during configure? configure: WARNING: Couldn't find X / Motif -- you will be able to compile pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, and pdfimages, but not xpdf reemerging openmotif helped for me.
same problem, added motif to use, fixed problem (didn't have openmotif or lesstif merged at all before) perhaps fix the ebuild to require motif, or if there's a better workaround...
I've got the same problem, but reemerging openmotif doesnt fix it for me.

(no error message) There are references to _Xsetlocale in libc.so.5, libMrm.so.2.1 and libXm.so.2.1; adding libMrm to the Makefile didn't help. My guess is it's an OpenMotif issue.

try to remerge openmotif and try the patch and report if it helped.
could you get it working?
Yes, thank you. I re-emerged openmotif and then xpdf, and /usr/bin/xpdf is now present and working. I didn't even have to apply the patch (it was probably already integrated in the ebuild). Thank you once again for a job well done, Gentoo devs! :)

remerge motif-config, openmotif and then xpdf

I had the same problem and noticed that: > remerge motif-config ... xpdf is not sufficient. After motif-config is emerged, it also needs to be _called_ to set the proper profile. :) In my case, this call failed since there were some 3 old directories sitting in /usr/include (Mrm for example). Once these directories were deleted, the call to motif-config was successful, as well as the rebuild of xpdf afterwards.
thanks for the pointer. it worked after doing that. it would be nice if this was fixed in the ebuild though or something because i can't imagine everyone wanting to manually fix this sort of thing.
