I've done quite a bit of "revdep-update" on my computer because I kept on trying to get "libext.so.0" to be found by applications that needed to read it. Anyway, after a long day I've finally managed to get my compuer running properly with no broken packages, but emerging parley still comes up with this error:

Code:
Failed Running aclocal !


which is on the first package it attempts to emerge:

Code:
app-crypt/gpgme-1.1.6


My best guess is that I'm missing a use flag somewhere, but I've never encountered this problem and search results in the FAQs returned nothing for aclocal.
Here are my current USE flags:
Code:
[ebuild     U ] app-crypt/gpgme-1.1.6 [1.1.2-r1] USE="-pth%"
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1  USE="python"
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/boost-1.34.1-r2  USE="-debug -doc -icu -pyste -tools"
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.0.1  USE="-debug -htmlhandbook -ldap -sasl -test"
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/libkdeedu-4.0.1  USE="-debug"
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/parley-4.0.1  USE="-debug -htmlhandbook"


I'm not very good at judging when I want to use a flag, but I do know to not use "debug" and "doc" since I know I'll never use them.
Is there a good website to learn more about USE flags? (I've looked at the gentoo-wiki, didn't seem to help much).

Thanks alot for any help

Did you update libtool recently by any chance? I had the same error (on another package) and with me the problem was a new version of libtool which didn't seem to work with other packages. It couldn't be found apparently. Emerging the previous verison of libtool solved it for me.
