 |
|
Alright, so I am trying to emerge gnome, and I've done everything in The Gnome Configuration HOWTO @ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml
when I try to run the command emerge gnome gnome-screensaver, I get this error:
| Code: | !!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1562: Called dyn_setup
ebuild.sh, line 665: Called pkg_setup
gtk+-2.8.19.ebuild, line 57: Called die
!!! cairo needs the X flag set
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. |
I don't know how to set the "X flag"[/b]

Tony, you should definitely read the Gentoo portage documentation, that's the basics of the system.
Answering to your question, you do that by editing /etc/portage/package.use, where you add a line that first contains the package name and then the USE flags you want for it:
This obviously has to be followed by a re-emerge of Cairo, preferably with the "--one-shot" flag so that package doesn't get registered in the World file:
| Code: | | #emerge --oneshot -av cairo |

So I just open package.use and type x11-libs/cairo X?

Yes, after reading the available documentation, so you know what you're doing.

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. |
