Making wine to be compiled with libxml2 support on gentoo

Question

Despite I had xml use flag in my make.conf and installed libxml2 before compiling wine sometimes I'm getting errors like this:

This program tried to use a DOMDocument object, but
libxml2 support was not present at compile time.

Looks like wine got compiled without libxml2 support. How to make wine compiled with libxml2 on gentoo?

Answer 1

First let's find out if you built wine with the xml use flag enabled in the past. If you have eix installed you could run

eix -e wine

to see. If not you could try

less /var/db/pkg/app-emulation/wine-*/USE

to see the list of applied use flags.
