Short answer: according to Changelog, use USE=doc for iputils until next version of iputils comes out (but be prepared to pull in *lots* of stuff meanwhile). Somewhat longer answer: read http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158660 Essentially, building man pages for iputils requires openjade + various docbook/sgml/xml tools. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
