==Adding extra options to the configure call during emerge== You have a package that is listed in the portage tree but during the configure call somethings complains about missing header/libraries.
You can see, that the needed files are installed, but in a different path.
Or if you just want to enable/disable something, that the ebuild doesn't do for you. You should file a bug report to have it fixed/improved.
Sadly, you have to wait a few hours/days till it becomes available in the tree. Until then you can pass the additional configure options via the environment variable '''EXTRA_ECONF'''. Example: EXTRA_ECONF="--with-something" emerge foo/bar will result in a configure call like this:
./configure [normal configure options generated by the ebuild] --with-something Happy compiling
