There doesn't appear to be a package named ogg-vorbis on my system, or in portage: http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=ogg-vorbis So it makes your question a little difficult to answer. However you can tarce dependencies by use of the --tree or -t switch for emerge: emerge -pvt ogg-vorbis might tell you what is dragging in cups. (well it would if there were such a package). Then you can read the ebuild of the package that is dependent on cups top find out why. USE flags are inherited from a number of places, all cumulative, with make.conf only being your preferences. Your profile governs what is added before make.conf adds its bits. > > -mw > > -mw > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam? Yahoo!
