Glad I could help. Remember to edit your original post and add [SOLVED] to the title

Add to your make.conf (in /etc/ in particular). This will add the directory to the list of places portage searches for ebuilds.

Check Bug #245322 for an ebuild for 6.1a. Place the .ebuild in /usr/local/portage/app-crypt/truecrypt (with the same name as on the bugzilla), place the non-crossed out attachments (ending in .patch) in the files subdirectory. Now go and do an "ebuild truecrypt-6.1a.ebuild digest" and follow the ...

These are mostly harmless (QA type messages)

In the offchance that a portage developer looks in this thread, is there a way to ignore sets provided by a certain overlay without removing the files physically? Something like set.mask (akin to package.mask)?

In reference to the strange segfaults of applications in coreutils (mainly), I have had no luck with .28, and have instead gone back to .27-zen4. It is strange however, because having tried 2.6.27 (vanilla I think) and 2.6.27-zen4 they both work (i.e. no segfaults of 'cp' or others that I've seen ...

I had (have) firefox-3.2-alpha, i.e., minefield-trunk crashing with nvidia-180 for quite some time, but firefox-2 is okay. Meanwhile, if you didn't see it before, the workaround (,I don't remember where I saw it first,) is to disable 'glitz' USE flag in cairo:
USE=-glitz emerge cairo

Thanks ...

What is the status on USE 'kdeprefix'? Is it recommended to set this flag or is it just a nice thing to have when wanting SLOTted versions of kde? The reason I'm asking, is that the bespin ebuild in kde-crazy is asking for +prefix to be set. While I understand the reason for that (live ebuild can be ...

2) Firefox 3.0.5 crashes on launch. Work around: eselect opengl set xorg-x11, launch firefox, eselect opengl set nvidia.
Are you using the binary versions or did you build it yourself? Do songbird binaries also crash? The reason I'm asking is that x86_64 firefox nightly binaries (3.1b3pre in ...

No (when I did, more than half a year ago now, there were worser issues so I switched to), xfs. I must add I've enabled heap randomisation and disabled the compat VDSO (but I doubt cp itself has an overflow bug)

I've started getting random segfaults (of cp mainly it seems, unless I do not understand the log format) ever since 2.6.28-zen1. In particular, quite a few programs would fail to emerge (because cp was broken it seemed), but always at the same location (per program). This rendered the system less ...

I think (from looking at this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145884 ) that we may soon have a wxGTK-2.8 in the tree

This is a psudo serious question. Could the linker option --as-needed be considered a ricer option for a gnetoo linker flag? I do see its potential value for individual packages, but I have some doubts using it in /etc/make.conf.

Well, philosophically - it's not a ricer flag at all. With binutils ...

Yes, there is something you can do - see post #2 in this thread. Emerge libstdc++-v3

emerge -pv cairo ?

Good luck with getting it to run in a stable manner

I could hardly manage a hardened 4.2.1 gcc... Probably the difficulty increases exponentially when playing with a CVS compiler

I thought this has been fixed with the rewritten version of revdep-rebuild?

The last line says "Cairo needs X flag set". Could you post the output of your "emerge --info"? And have you by any chance put -X into your USE in /etc/make.conf?

Yes, to use the slots feature - so something like "if built_with_use sys-devel/gcc:4.1 d"

If you're looking at a way to get it to look like Windows Vista, take a look at this: http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2007/07/ ... ike-vista/

I'm aware this is for Compiz fusion, but the settings for beryl should be similar (I would recommend upgrading to compiz-fusion anyway).

PM me if you're interested in adding them to my D overlay (see link at the bottom of sig. )

Ok, for the moment I have an overlay for D which supports dmd, gdc (0.24_pre) and tango - for instructions see http://gentoo.arsfides.com/wiki

I hope to get more D projects from dsource working

Hello, bug. Seems I've got it as well in hardened profile. Trying with a vanilla compiler now...

Edit: with nopienossp specs, mplayer compiles fine. Oh well, that seems to be fixed for now then

unmasking binutils-2.17.50.0.17 by adding the line:

=sys-devel/binutils-2.17.50.0.17 ~* *

to my /etc/portage/package.keywords file, then emerging it fixed my problem.

You should rather use 2.17.50.0.18. This version fixed some problems connected with e. g. `klcc` and `strip --strip-unneeded ...

Interesting, strigi-9999 compiled for me yesterday (fresh install). Kde 4 - is awesome, still lots more work to be done though
