Hello

When I emerge gnome with this command # emerge -DuN gnome , everything works well. But I face this error

when the emerging at "cairo" package it's complete without any error. after that directly emerging the "gnome-base/libsrvg-2.14.4" package

It's tell me that : Please re-emerge x11-libs/cairo with the png USE flag set.

I did it and add the "png" to USE in make.conf and re-emerged it.

Then its gave another error I can't describe it it's from compiler with libsrvg tell me it can't complete the installation

from make [1] and ebuild errors and stopping every thing.

that what I set to USE on make.conf

try reemerging librsvg first.
And post the last 20 lines of output if things break again.

I have the exact same problem trying to emerge gnome.

Ps:Someone suggests that emerging gtk-doc solves the problem,compiling still though.

Hi,

I have cairo compiled with svg flag as well. If you don't, give it a try.

Also, it's not directly related but you are trying to emerge Gnome with disabled gnome and gtk USE flags (-gnome -gtk). Maybe you should enable them, but I'm not an expert...

Regards - morda.

I fixed the problem.

Switch your USE on make.conf to
USE="gtk gnome png -qt3 -qt4 gnome -arts dvd alsa cdr unicode bidi -kde"

Dont know if it has any meaning either

Try an
1)USE="png X" emerge cairo
2)emerge gnome

if it doesnt work out try an
1)emerge gtk-doc
2)USE="png X" emerge cairo
3)emerge gnome

Ps:Solved it not sure how though.dont know if it was the gtk-doc and after that the cairo or only the emerging cairo with using x and png.

As stated in many places (and as I have learnt from experience), its more advisable to use /etc/portage/package.use to specify package specific USE flags instead of the way suggested above..

eg., USE="png X" emerge cairo

can equivalently be achieved by adding the line

x11-libs/cairo png X

to /etc/portage/package.use and then emerge -av cairo
This has the advantage that even if you recompile/update the program later, the old setting are remembered unlike using UISE="" emerge where you are most likely not to remember the special USE flags you set when compiling earlier..
