For some reason, it thinks you have eselect-opengl installed, but it can't find its file. You can set up the symlinks by hand. But your system will never build nicely until you get eselect-opengl installed properly, because many ebuilds will try to use it. > kjones-sun2 GL # > ------------------end snip------------------ > You did 'emerge eselect-opengl' successfully? It has three files: polylepis ~ # qlist eselect-opengl /usr/share/eselect/modules/opengl.eselect /usr/lib/opengl/global/include/glext.h /usr/lib/opengl/global/include/glxext.h (qlist is part of portage-utils --- emerge it please, if you have not yet, then try the command I show above.) The module is this one: /usr/share/eselect/modules/opengl.eselect And eselect opengl list should show you which implementations of opengl you have installed (for you, xorg-x11). Now, you can force a build of eselect-opengl like this: ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/eselect-opengl/eselect-opengl-1.0.5.ebuild install (one command line) At that point, those 3 files will be installed in /var/tmp/portage/app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.5/image Then, either ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/eselect-opengl/eselect-opengl-1.0.5.ebuild qmerge will install them, or you can copy them to where they belong by hand. But I see no way you can get a clean install from emerge eselect-opengl and not be able to use it. > sigh.... > > Ken > > Ferris McCormick wrote: > > On Fri, 2007-06-29 at 09:50 -0400, ken jones wrote: > > > >> Ferris: > >> Look't this. > >> > >> kjones-sun2 GL # emerge -pv xorg-x11 > >> > >> These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > >> > >> Calculating dependencies... done! > >> [ebuild N ] virtual/opengl-7.0 0 kB > >> [ebuild N ] media-libs/freeglut-2.4.0-r1 0 kB > >> [ebuild N ] virtual/glut-1.0 0 kB > >> [ebuild N ] x11-apps/mesa-progs-6.5.1 1,289 kB > >> [ebuild N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 0 kB > >> > >> Total: 5 packages (5 new), Size of downloads: 1,289 kB > >> > >> I just did emerge xorg-x11.
