[gentoo-user] emacs-cvs doesn't compile

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hello all,
I recently updated my system (emerge -u world); I had emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r1
and for some reason portage insisted on installing emacs (not the cvs
version), while I had not app-emacs in my world file. I tryed emergeing
emacs-cvs but portage wouldn't do it. 
After some fighting I gave up and now I have emacs but not emacs-cvs, and
I can't install it!! Here is what I get:

.....
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r2/work/emacs/man'
(cd lispref; make  info)
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r2/work/emacs/lispref'
makeinfo -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r2/work/emacs/lispref /var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r2/work/emacs/lispref/elisp.texi -o /var/tmp/portage/emacs-cvs-21.3.50-r2/work/emacs/lispref/../info/elisp

Same message if I ask portage to install the r1 version.
here are my USE flags:

USE="aqua async auctex authdaemond chroot doc emacs gnuplot imap leim \
     maildir mozilla mozsvg multi-tty pdf pdfkit plotutils sasl usb zvbi \
     -libg"

Any help welcome

Since emacs-cvs is from latest CVS, you can expect breakage from time
to time.  It is the nature of all CVS ebuilds.

For this specific problem you remove the offending texinfo lines in
/usr/portage/cvs-src/emacs/...

Yes, of course Just before following your advice I gave another try,
and it compiled all right; as I not emerge-synced since, nor
downloaded the files, I think there is some mystery in all this Thanks
for your help anyway

There is no mystery. When emerging emacs-cvs it performs a CVS update,
so you are building against the latest code at the time you run the
emerge.
