can not view jpg images [SOLVED]

[zachos]

Hi,
My problem is that I can not see jpg image files. I have install the xv and the gThumb but I can not view the jpg files.

I have emerge the two package with the jpg flags (/etc/portage/package.use)

when your setting use flags anything with the - in front of it will be told not to compile with that option


so take the - away from he jpg one and it should then make it compile it all with the jpg use flag

wow It work ....
Thanks thanks thanks

I can not believe that it was so easy ....
and I wanted to know what was the different between the two flag options
I mean with the minus and with out...

I wanted to ask one more thing. This is a rule for both files

/etc/make.conf /etc/portage/package.use

Thanks again

Hi !

Yes, what misterbob05 said is the "general" rule for USE flags.

I suggest you to read a bit of doc :
