i'm trying to compile GNOME from a chrooted environment, (gentoo env in ubuntu 7.10) but gtk+ refuses to compile, i decided to try and emerge gtk+ but one of its dependancies fontconfig-2.5.0 gets to autoconf and fails

Code:

As stated in the error report: "If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant."

This means that there was some error before this message. You should post that message otherwise it is impossible to tell what is the error.

Also, for gentoo problems you should go to forums.gentoo.org
