 Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2006 6:27 pm Post subject: Problem with gtk+-2.8.19 |
 |
|
Sorry for my first post, I've wrote a wrong argument......
I'm trying to install KDE on my system.
I typed the command: emerge kde.
At the start all goes right, but when the system starts to compile the pakage: x11-libs/gtk+-2-8.19 the installation crashes.
When the installation crashes print the follow error message: CAIRO NEEDS THE X FLAG SET.
What is the X Flag? How Can I set it? How can I install KDE?
Thanks for help!!!!!!!! |

Add X to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf. Then run `emerge --oneshot cairo`. You should now be able to continue your installation of KDE.

|
|
I've installed gentoo and everything went well I've got a runing x server, and I'm very happy with gentoo... Now there are still some small problems which I need to solve:
If I want to install gpsdrive (gpsd is already installed) I open a terminal an type in:
emerge gpsdrive
it calculates depencies and sees that I need x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 so it wants to emerge also that lib but it fails it says:
* Please re-emerge x11-libs/cairo with the X USE flag set
!!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1555: Called dyn_setup
ebuild.sh, line 668: Called pkg_setup
gtk+-2.8.19.ebuild, line 57: Called die
!!! cairo needs the X flag set
Now I have no idea how I can set my USE flag X for cairo...What do I have to do? Change make.conf? And what do I have to write in the make.conf? Please help me! |

type
p stands for --pretend (not actually emerging)
v stands for --verbose (to show required USE flags)
so you can either type
| Code: | | USE="X" emerge -pv cairo" |
or in make.conf have USE="X" flag set
when you are going to emerge simply remove the pv |

I think, if you don't want the USE-Flag X in your make.conf, but want it for cairo you should do this:
| Code: | | echo "x11-libs/cairo X" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
, because if you merge with USE="X" emerge cairo portage doesn't afaik remeber the X Use-Flag, so after an Upgrade of cairo, or an emerge -uDN you have cairo again without the X Use-Flag

Moved from Desktop Environments to Duplicate Threads, refer to topic "Please re-emerge [solved]".
As noted in the handbook USE flags specified via environment variables are not retained as persistent settings so, aside from when a given USE flag setting is itself transient in nature, use one of the persistent USE flag setting methods (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/package.use). Also, note that USE flags are case sensitive. |
