 Is there any reason to not answer, even late?  Some problem are

 Even if everything seems to show the problem is solved or turned around,

You are absolutely correct.  Please continue with this thread.  We look
forward to your response in a month or so.

 This is an add-on to my previous post on gnome 2.6 and gentoo.
 To recap i am trying to get gnome 2.6 going. The compilation is
 failing at gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.6.2 and specifically on the
 accessibility guide i'm getting an error 2. At the end of the output i
 was told for support a emerge --info would be needed, i have included
 it below.

Gentle remark: are you really expecting for people to find out by
themselves what's the initial thread and problem you're talking about?
Why start a new thread?

The OP was over 3 months ago.  I think a lack of response speaks volumes
compared to responding so late.  It was a thread that was DOA. Why did
you decide to dig it up?
