[gentoo-user] Imagemagick not being detected by emacs
Hello all, I'm struggling to get emacs to incorporate imagemagick to allow for rudimental image viewing and manipulation functionality. I have both media-gfx/imagemagick-7.0.8-50 and app-editors/emacs-26.2 installed. With imagemagick installed prior to an emacs rebuild the compiler output says something to the effect of 'Imagemagick detected... no' despite the `imagemagick` USE flag being enabled. Similarly, when I run eval-expression in emacs for (image-type-available-p 'imagemagick), a value of nil is returned meaning that emacs is still unaware of imagemagick. I think I can probably add imagemagick to the environment path but I am unsure which directory to add. Most of the binaries live in /usr/bin which is already on the PATH by default. Would appreciate any suggestions the mailing list could offer. All the best, James

Re: [gentoo-user] Multilib help
The easiest way to fix this issue is to figure out which libraries you need and then stipulate that you want the x86_32 version of that package in your accept_keywords file. Check the Gentoo wiki for the software you are trying to run for hints on what libraries you need.

Re: [gentoo-user] Terminus-Fonts
It depends if you are using xos4 Terminus fonts in your terminal emulator. I think you can get it to render as a bitmap font, without xft, but you cannot control the size or style, and it is very small by default. I ended up setting `xft` as a global USE flag, it's a rendering library but I'm not sure if it applies to each of my fonts or my terminal emulator.

[gentoo-user] LuaKit Browser and HTML5 video playback
Hello all,
Does anyone here know how luakit (webkit browser) accesses video codecs?
I'm just trying it out and I've been really enjoying it but anything
HTML5 (mp4, ogg, webm) in video form does not load.
luakit uses gstreamer as a backend and I've used the gstreamer flag
during compilation. I installed media-libs/gst-plugins-meta after
installation. I'm out of ideas at this point aside from recompiling
luakit which would take a couple of hours.

Thank you very much Mike, I'll check the documentation out.
[gentoo-user] Why does app-text/xmlto require a CLI web client?
Hello, I was removing www-client/w3m the other day as I have recently switched over to emacs for my cli browser, however w3m was pulled in as a dependency of app-text/xmlto. xmlto, in turn is pulled in by sys-apps/dbus and x11-misc/xdg-utils. I decided to remove w3m with `emerge -C` before running a `change-use` command. xmlto began to merge www-client/lynx. I cannot find anything in the man pages about xmlto requiring a CLI web client but it apparently does. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I do not have xmlto in my package.accept_keywords or package.use. Best wishes, James man xmlto: xmlto - apply an XSL stylesheet to an XML document
