--configure is dead upstream. You should not use it. There should be no need as X now auto detects most configurations by its itself.
It looks like you did not install X. Emerge xorg-server
You can test it with X -retro && sleep 5 && killall X This should give you a grey screen for 5 seconds and then kill it. You should be able to see your mouse cursor. _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |

According to here you installed xorg-server with the option to build the X server explicitly disabled, thus rendering it useless. |

Before things get too confusing here, this is what would need to be set for xorg-server:
Code: | [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 USE="ipv6 nptl suid udev xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal (-selinux) -static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb" 0 kB
|
You shouldn't have to change anything to get these settings. If you made any other changes in make.conf, please undo them
As for the other errors first try Code: | emerge -uavDN @world |
If this gives you any trouble then:
Code: | echo ">=app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.14-r1 jadetext" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "media-libs/mesa-9.0 xa" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
Then try the world update again.
If all the above succeed, then Code: | emerge -av xorg-server |
If that works, remember that you have to install a window manager to test it. You can emerge twm and xterm to test X. That info is outlined on this page http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
UPDATE:
One thing I might of forgot is:
Code: | echo "x11-base/xorg-server udev" >>/etc/portage/package.use |
I have it in my package.use and I'm not sure if it's necessary, but just in case _________________ Good luck

Don't forget to unmerge twm and/or xterm if you installed them to test X _________________ Good luck

I generally build xterm, xclock and twm directly after xorg-server, and run them
as a test of X, but I've never had to unmerge them - they just stay as a fallback
if starting the main WM fails.
