Hi, everybody, I was upgrading to Gnome 2.16 and everything was going fine until I got to x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6. First I had to recompile cairo with X and pdf flags. No prob, did that, now revieving a different error while it tries to emerge x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6. I'll post the output here, I'm not sure what I need to do to correct this. Thanks

todd93,

I tried to do #>USE="X PDF" emerge cario and this didn't work? I also tried editing the /etc/make.conf file but no luck. How did you update gtk+-2.10.6?

never mind I put x11-libs/cairo pdf X inside this file /etc/portage/package.use
emerge x11-libs/cairo

This fixed the rest of the emerge --update --deep world This is an AMD DISTRO of gentoo

GTK failed during a emerge -uDN world with the error about using X and pdf with cairo

I added the following to package.use, although I think the X is in my global USE flags in make.conf

Ok, not sure what I did, but I re-emerged pango and cairo again, tried emerge --update --deep world and it failed a couple times, but I just kept trying and it finally emerged it without error. Not sure why it was failing, but it's ok now, as we speak I'm on 47 of 153. No errors so far. Thanks everybody!

Have you recompiled cairo with those flags set before re-trying to compile gtk?

Yes 6thpink, I just did after posting the previous thread, and it did work out. I know.... I should have done it the other way around... try, then post; Thanx anyway. But I'm still interested in that package.use file, since I don't have any, and haven't looked for what it's for yet.

Okay you all missed the key element here a missing link to the following file libexpat.so.0

In the compile error you will see it can not file this file. You will need to go to /usr/lib/

type this: ln -s libexpat.so.1.5.0 libexpat.so.0

Then it should look like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 157648 Dec 15 12:41 libexpat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 793 Dec 15 12:41 libexpat.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 15 12:41 libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.1.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 15 12:54 libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.1.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 15 12:41 libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.5.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122352 Dec 15 12:41 libexpat.so.1.5.0

After that try and emerge it agian and you will find it works. It appears that the sym link has gone missing but that will correct it.

Good luck.

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.
