Hi

when i try to emerge vmware i get the following error:

Code:

>>> Emerging (1 of 7) x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 to /

 * Please re-emerge x11-libs/cairo with the X USE flag set

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1562:   Called dyn_setup
  ebuild.sh, line 665:   Called pkg_setup
  gtk+-2.10.6.ebuild, line 52:   Called die

!!! cairo needs the X flag set
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


my make.conf looks like this:

Code:
USE="perl python acpi apache2 apm bzip2 hal libwww samba threads usb xml zlib php"


i tryed to add the -X to the use part but that dident work.. any ideas?

Code:
echo "x11-libs/cairo X" >>/etc/portage/package.use
emerge -1aN x11-libs/cairo

That will fix Cairo. Then try VMware again.

And what did you expect that should happen if you add a -X? (Note: - == MINUS == ... )
;)
Try the following:
Code:

$> echo "x22-libs/cairo X">>/etc/portage/package.use
$> emerge cairo vmware


cheers,
R.

X22? Dude, you truly are l33t. Where's the overlay for that? :wink:

:P Yes, you know, I hacked x11 a bit... X22 is far more powerful ;). Thx for the correction - I won't touch the original post - no censorship! :wink:

The place to add the X USE flag is in /etc/make.conf

equery hasuse X shows several affected packages.

Agree, but why should I add a use flag to make.conf if it's used by many packages? There are many use flags that affect multiple packages, but I not always want them to affect the complete package tree...

To turn the question around, which specific ebuilds do you not want X for? I'd be interested in reasons.

It's simpler and easier to put -X in package.use for those, because those are the exceptions rather than the rule. For most people.

In my eyes it looked like StarF is not quite used to the USE mechanism yet. So I did not want him to incorporate the thinking of putting every use flag in make.conf only because multple packages make use of it. In the case of "X", you're right, of course.
To answer your (rhetorical) question: I use emacs without the X ;). Reason? Because I don't like point-and-click :P

Cheers,
R.

It's a capital X. Nothing should be enabling the X USE flag, but you can add -X if you like. I also put in /etc/portage/package.mask
Code:
x11-base/xorg-x11

Moved from Other Things Gentoo 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.
