First you should post the error itself, not just the portage report that the build failed. You should find ir in /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5b-r2/temp/build.log If you cannot isolate the error yourself you could send the entire build log (or upload it to some paste-site). After you did that we could try to figure out, what exactly the error is (and maybe help you). Otherwise you could file a bugreport (where you should attach the build.log nonetheless) WKR Hinnerk
