[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/distfiles/gtk+-directfb-2.0.5-gentoo.patch.bz2'

Where can i get this patch from so that I might finish this install?

I also encountered this problem. My 'emerge gnome' failed on a new Gentoo installation with the same error.

There's a bugreport about this at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5375.

I downloaded the file using ftp from ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/gtk+-directfb-2.0.5-gentoo.patch.bz2, put it in /usr/portage/distfiles and re-ran 'emerge gnome'. It's compiling away at the moment but didn't stop at that spot, so it's looking good.

Add directfb and fbcon to your USE variable.
This solves the problem, too.
