When I first tried emerging sdl-perl-2.1.2, it appeared to succeed but didn't actually install anything. Looking at the output, I saw that it hadn't done anything because it couldn't find the Module::Build module, etc, etc. After emerging module-build, it worked. The sdl-perl ebuild needs a dependency on module-build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove module-build if installed 2. emerge sdl-perl 3. Observe the failure Actual Results: sdl-perl appeared to succeed but was actually empty. Expected Results: sdl-perl should have installed properly so that I could play frozen bubble. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r8 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10-rc3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-rc3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) MP 1900+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.8 Python: dev-lang/python-2.2.3-r5,dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Nov 13 2004, 22:08:50)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.2.3-r5, 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-mp -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time -fweb -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-mp -mfpmath=sse -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time -fweb -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.llarian.net/ http://gentoo.ccccom.com http://128.213.5.34/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/src" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex X acpi alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bonobo cdparanoia cdr crypt cups doc dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode esd evo f77 fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glx gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jack java jce jikes jpeg junit libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mmx mng motif mozilla mozsvg mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl physfs png postgres python qt quicktime readline samba scanner sdl slang speex spell sse ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype unicode wmf x86 xml xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid xvmc yv12 zlib"
