I've emerged EVMS successfully, however, I don't get the evmsn utility. I don't have X on this machine, so I have -gtk in the USE flags.
Code:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/evms-2.5.1  -debug -gtk +ncurses 0 kB


and this is the configure command displayed from the ebuild

Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/lib --sbindir=/sbin --includedir=/usr/include --disable-gui


I thought maybe that "--disable-gui" was breaking it, so I did
Code:
data-1 root # USE="ncurses gtk" emerge -pv --nodeps evms

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/evms-2.5.1  -debug +gtk +ncurses 0 kB


which removes the "--disable-gui" flag from configure, but still no luck.
no evmsn or evmsgui
Code:

data-1 root # evms
evms                   evms_metadata_backup   evms_query
evms_activate          evms_metadata_restore  evmsd
evms_gather_info       evms_mpathd            evmsd_worker


I suppose it could have something to do with these rather restrictive use flags I have set (simple headless fileserver, don't want any extra stuff I dont need):
Code:
USE="samba -oss -apm -arts -avi -bitmap-fonts -cups -emboss -encode \
     -font-server -foomaticdb -gif -gpm -gtk -gtk2 -imlib -kde -gnome \
     -libg -mad -mikmod -motif -mpeg -oggvorbis -opengl -pdflib -png -qt \
     -quicktime -sdl -svga -truetype -truetype-fonts -type1-fonts -X -xv \
     -berkdb -pam -perl evms"


Anyone know if any of these might be causing it?

Thanks in advance!


No, nevermind, I just commented out the USE lines of my make.conf, and tried the emerge again (adding only -gtk to the command line) and I still didnt get evmsn.

What do I need to do to get that utility to compile?


Update:
Watching the configure carefully shows this:
Code:
configure: checking which EVMS user interfaces to build:
configure:      building cli
configure:      not building gui ... disabled by user
configure:      not building text-mode ... requires glib library
configure:      building utils


Perhaps the ebuild needs to be updated, if the "ncurses" USE flag is set, then glib is a dependancy


Update2:
emerged glib then evms, still no evmsn. Same message as above, can't find glib.

Any thoughts on what else I can try?

I vaguely remember hitting this problem a while ago and fixed it by adding +gtk to the use flags. It appears to be a bug where ncurses and gtk are tied together. Not sure if it has been fixed since.

Yeah, solved this awhile ago, forgot to update. See the bug for details

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83503

Essentially, the evmsn needs glib-1.2 specifically. Forcing the emerge of that fixed it.
