We present the two-loop pure gauge contribution to the gluon-gluon scatteringamplitude with maximal helicity violation. Our construction of the amplitudedoes not rely directly on Feynman diagrams, but instead uses its analyticproperties in 4 - 2 epsilon dimensions. We evaluate the loop integralsappearing in the amplitude through O(epsilon^0) in terms of polylogarithms.Comment: Latex, 27 pages, 12 figures; v2: normalizations corrected in (5.11), (A.6) and (A.7
