I had a failure while building/installing gnome and I am not sure what the failure is. Here is the first mention of trouble
/bin/sh
/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/work/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/install-sh
-d
/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 C/figures/ask_pointer.png
/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/ask_pointer.png
mkdir: cannot create directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome':
File exists

make[3]: *** [install-doc-docs] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
It seems to be complaining that /usr/share/gnome exists and that
/usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C exists
But that doesn't seem like an error for an upgrade.
It then has 66 successful installs like this one (I guess these are the
unfinished jobs)
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 C/figures/busy_pointer.png
/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/gnome-user-docs-2.26.2/image//usr/share/gnome/help/user-guide/C/figures/busy_pointer.png
and finally here is the tail of the log
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 C/figures/yelp_window.png

The system is amd64. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, allan PS I did read the update guide, but it seemed to be to be saying that you first do the emerge and then follow directions in the guide.
