Are you running stable or testing?
avahi does not have a pygtk USE flag. In fact, there isn't one in portage at
all:
~ $ euse -i pygtk
global use flags (searching: pygtk)
no matching entries found
local use flags (searching: pygtk)
no matching entries found
So whether you have it or not should make no difference at all.
The latest avahi ebuild contains this interesting snippet though:
src_compile() {
...
# We need to unset DISPLAY, else the configure script might have
problems detecting the pygtk module
unset DISPLAY
econf \
I'm not really in a position to help you further as I don't have avahi (or any
zeroconf packages) - mostly because the only place I ever use this notebook
is on properly configured networks

RE: [gentoo-user] Avahi Keeps failing on Emerge - Maybe a Python Error?
Hi, Avahi keeps failing with what looks like a Python gtk module error that I can't seem to figure out. I've done the obvious by re-emerging python (with running python-updater) and pygtk but it still fails. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Richard The configure failure message is: checking for python module gtk... no configure: error: Could not find Python module gtk Yet emerge confirms pygtk is installed.
