[gentoo-user] emerge xmlto > ERROR: app-text/xmlto-0.0.18 failed.

[Dale]

Hi,

I have ran into this error a lot of times.  I posted it the other day
but have learned that a lot of people don't read HTML stuff.  So here I
go again.

This is the whole thing, sorry it is a bit long but I didn't want to cut
out the very part you need.  Yes, my rig is named smoker.  :/

It wants to emerge it sometimes during a emerge -uv world.  I try to
keep it up to date.  I have looked and seen where people gripe about it,
including me, but have not found a real fix.  I did also try USE="-doc"
emerge xmlto and it still fails.  I'm a dial-up user but I am connected
to the net when I try this.  Everything else can get to the net.  I
dunno why it can't. 

Is there a fix for this?  Do I need to install something else to make it
work?  Should I file a horse and BUGgy report?  LOL

What you guys, and gals, think?

Sorry for the HTML last time.  :-(
