I've just looked at the ebuild: DESCRIPTION="Webpage image gallery creation perl script" HOMEPAGE="http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/"; SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/bbgallery/${P}.tar.bz2" SLOT="0" LICENSE="GPL-2" KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~sparc alpha amd64" IUSE="" RDEPEND="media-gfx/gimp dev-lang/perl media-gfx/imagemagick dev-perl/URI dev-perl/libwww-perl dev-perl/HTML-Template dev-perl/HTML-Parser" I would assume that HTML-Template is responsible for building the templates (on first run, possibly)? So then I went to see if there was a possibility that you might have disabled HTML-Parser via USE flags: emerge -pv bbgallery These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-perl/HTML-Template-2.7 61 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51 114 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/libnet-1.19 63 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.800 +ssl 223 kB [ebuild N ] app-misc/bbgallery-1.2.0 32 kB ... but there isn't so that wouldn't seem to be it. Were there any errors in the emerge log? It can certainly happen that a program could emerge successfully without building all of its parts. Not often, but it can happen. Are there any bugs listed in b.g.o wrt this app? Is dev-perl/HTML-Template installed? Are you possibly having other issues with Perl (recent upgrade of), and need to run perl-cleaner? That's all I can think of, until someone who meets your criterion (experience with the specific tool) comes along :) . HTH, Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
