Hello, my name is Matt and I have only been using linux on and off for about 2 years. My best friend(who is a linux wizard yet to busy to help me) has got me onto Gentoo, though at the moment I only have the base system, I dont have xorg or kde working yet. I have a rather twisted problem. I went "emerge KDE" and all was going fine, untill something hit a snag. "QTDIR not set"(or something along those lines). This made sense seeing as how I had never emerged qt. So thats what I did. Then something happened and it said that it couldnt interact with doxygen or something, so I figured, "Hey, I don't have doxygen either(whatever doxygen is)". Then it was time to emerge doxygen. And now to the reason I am here. I hit an error while compiling alsa-driver(which portage was grabbing automaticaly, i guess it is a dependancy), I got an error about a hunk failing and src_compile function on line 52 exitcode 2. Now, I am not a total newb, I write decent basic c++(I know up to general object programming + overloading) and several other languages. I knew it was a compile error and that something was missing. So then I read a thread on this site which told me what was wrong with alsa(I do know what alsa is, i used mandrake/knoppix kde for...well iv been on kde since i started using linux). I fixed it by setting my ALSA_CARDS variable in make.conf and alsa-drivers compiled. So why am I posting this you ask? Because I just tried to emerge doxygen again, and this time its died on alsa-lib(-1.0.7). Ill give the error from when I think something started to go wrong.

make[1]: doxygen: Command not found
make[1]: *** [doc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/alsa-lib-1.0.7/work/alsa-lib-1.0.7/doc'
make: *** [doc] Error 2

!!! ERROR: media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.7 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 52, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

I just want to know if fixing it is as easy as setting another variable in a config file :)
If the situation is what it looks like, I am compiling a dependancy for doxygen which has doxygen as a dependancy. I have not been able to find any help on google or anywhere else, so I signed up for an account here because I got good answers from here last time. Please help me if you can,

Matt T
