Nautilus Compilation Error

On my machine at work I have been trying to 'emerge gnome' for quite a while. I repeatedly received warnings stating that a libtool library was missing or had been moved. Eventually the emerge would error and fail.

After many attempts to find a solution to this problem, I finally found something saying it is most likely a problem with the configure script. Not sure how to change that I didn't bother. But rather thought of a way to have it re-create it.

I then ran 'emerge depclean'. This removed all the old packages that weren't being used. I then ran 'emerge gnome' and it was able to compile nautilus without any problem.
