 |
|
Being a 2-day Gentoo user, I have a pretty naive question.
"emerge -p xmms" tells me it's going to UPDATE some of my gnome 2 packages to gnome 1 versions. Is it OK to proceed??? Or should I install some compatibility packages instead, like what rpm based systems do. |

Do you already have some GNOME 1 libs installed? My guess is that your GNOME 1 libs are being updated to higher-version GNOME 1 libs, but that emerge is merely reporting the highest version library you have installed as the 'current' one, which would be a GNOME 2 lib.
In any case, it's probably okay to proceed; I've had GTK1 and GTK2 apps running side by side for a long time. Chances are you'll just end up with two sets of GNOME libs.

Good thinking! But it's not the case for me.
This is part of the output of "emerge -p xmms" :
| Code: | | [ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r3 [2.2.3] |
Then I did this:
| Code: | eyzd root # qpkg -I -i gnome-vfs
gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.2.3 *
Gnome Virtual Filesystem [ http://www.gnome.org/ ]
|
Interestingly, there isn't the "D" for downgrade flag in the previous emerge output  Unless 100% sure, I'm not going to proceed. It took me 12 hours to emerge the entire gnome 2.2.1, and I really don't want to screw it up  |

All adding GNOME support to xmms does is build a panel applet that won't work in the GNOME 2 panel. It's probably best to add "-gnome" to the use variable when you install xmms.
| Code: |
env USE=-gnome emerge xmms
