Re: [gentoo-user] libncursesw not build even with 'unicode' in USE

The problem is that libncurses is indeed build at this stage, but without unicode support. I assume emerge --oneshot ncurses will fix it, but ncurses should really have been build with unicode support from the start. Beautiful, doing emerge --oneshot ncurses goes into calculating dependencies and leaps into step 1 of 26 the first of which is dialog-1.0.20050206 which promptly fails due to a missing libncursesw. My USE is: USE=-qt -kde -oggvorbis -encode -xmms -mad -mp3 -mikmod -flac -esd - arts -avi -alsa -oss nptl fbcon gtk2 gtkhtml gnome hal cdr unicode bzip2 emacs tetex Ideas/help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry your having so much trouble. I normally do stage 3 installs myself (sometimes build my own stages with catalyst). ;-) Thanks Anyways, try USE=-gpm emerge --oneshot ncurses and that should work around the problem. Note that emerge --info shows USE=gpm in the profile so you need to disable it. Why is gpm a problem here?

I looked in the ncurses ebuild and saw this: DEPEND=gpm? ( sys-libs/gpm ) Thats where the extra 25 packages came from. Sometimes you need to build a package without all it's dependecies (USE flags) in order to avoid circular dependencies. Portage takes some getting used to (and study) but it's definitely worth it.
