I recently emerged gcompris to see if my Kindergarten son could
benefit from some decent Linux apps, but I cannot get it to work. I
saw no complaints during the emerge, such as configure errors, but it
just goes nowhere. When run I get this:
** Message: gcompris_set_locale ''

I have been trying to find a way to set up a simple firewall which I
can trust is doing what I need it to do. I am connecting via a
diaulup with my local phone company which dynamically assigns me an ip
address. I want to be able to use the web and send and receive email
via my pop and smtp

Hi,
Maybe rebuilding mplayer through portage will have the same result.
Think you could have a look at 'revdep-rebuild' (man revdep-rebuild).

Nope. Didn't work. But, I did notice that when I run it I get a

Okay. Sounds like a good start to me. I will give it a go and see
what I get. It's not hard to
I am very new to Gentoo and portage and just beginning to learn to
find my way around. For the most part things have been good, but
MPlayer has proved to be a difficulty. Not in basic functionality
though, but just speed.
What I did was start with a basic 'emerge -a mplayer' which installed

I just finished running 'emerge -uD world' and everything seemed to go
okay. At least in the end it seemed to. I did have some troubles
with spamassassin and a couple of other strange dependencies which

If you were very judicious you might, possibly, somehow get it into

I think there is no difference in size between any of these distros

Differences are pretty small compared to the overall size of things.
