I think I've found out what the problem was by looking through all those, although the dependancy tree isn't all that easy to follow (it's pretty hard to tell how far something is indented when they're 10+ lines apart). Looks like lib-compat had +sdl set (I presume this is set by default because I've never enabled it) which seemed to be bringing all sorts of rubbish along with it. Adding -sdl and -arts to make.conf got rid of everything bar postgresql and lib-compat (which is what I wanted), although I've no idea why all these extra packages appeared in the first place. Thanks for the help. Paul -- Rogue Tory http://www.roguetory.org.uk -- [email protected] mailing list
