Howzit,

I was busy doing an update, when this error came up:

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 failed

So i thougt by removing gtk and re emerging gtk it would solve the problem,
but all it did was break my system and i need to boot with a live cd again.

can someone please tell me how to solve?

Thanx

Please post at least 30 lines before that error message, otherwise it is impossible to determine the cause. Also post your `emerge --info`.

add USE flags X and pdf into your /etc/make.conf :?:

Thanks, it worked!

Didn't have pdf in my USE flags.

Don't forget to add [Solved] to your subject

And notice that sometimes, the error messages are clear like water but they usually are a lot of lines before

don't get me wrong, but why on earth is the pdf use flag not included in the default-linux/desktop profile ?
i'd prefer the ability to turn off unwanted features over failed emerges because of a minimalistic default set of use flags in the profile.
a desktop system w/o pdf support sucks even more than interrupted emerges

Moved from Portage & Programming 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.
