I've experienced many errors in attempting to compile Beagle (before I eventually succeeded), but not this one. What I do know is that 1) beagle needs very specific compile order and dependency versions to compile successfully, and 2) pango-sharp does not exist in the Portage tree, or the gentopia overlay (so why you're getting a pango error I don't know, but it seems a trifle odd). The best sources of information for how to compile Beagle are http://www.beagle-project.org/Gentoo_Installation and http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Beagle Using these instructions, I was able to build Beagle successfully. The only inaccuracy in the Wiki is that Beagle needs wv-1.0.3-r1 specifically; it will not compile against a lower version, or the current 1.2.2 version (there's a bug on b.g.o to that effect, and I just spent two days confirming it before I found it). So as long as you mask ">wv-1.0.3-r1", you should be good to go. But other than that, if you follow the instructions, it should work. It was a real pain to get installed, though; I will say that. However, it is pretty cool. HTH for a start, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
