Hi, I did:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world after having changed my USE flags to: USE="-qt -kde gtk2 gtkhtml gnome hal cdr unicode bzip2 doc emacs examples tetex" Everything went well until dialog was to be emerged. The output is below. The error went away when ncurses was emerged manually. Is a dependency missing somewhere?
