did you put X in your /etc/make.conf USE flag section before you did that?

But in my case package.use is a directory.
What shall I do? |
Just this:
| Code: | | # echo "X11-libs/cairo X" >> /etc/portage/package.use/x11-libx |
Note: x11-libs is just a simple plain text file. You can called it whatever you want, portage will scan this directory and it doesn't take care much of file names.
Cheers. |

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. |
