Well, I've had 'gtk in my make.use file since the beginning. When did this change or start being an inpediment to installation of ethereal? OK, how did you determine this? What did you use to discover this? Back some time ago, ethereal started to die off when I'd enter a capture session (I posted on this but nobody could help). The work around was to edit '~james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc' and comment out line 37: #gtk-alternative-button-order = 1 But this workaround would not survive logging in/out. Your fix worked like a charm and now ethereal survives multiple capture/caputre-end sessions. You are a genius (at least from where I sit)..... > [ebuild R ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.13-r1 -adns +gtk +ipv6 > -kerberos -snmp +ssl 0 kB What syntax did you use to generate this listing? I can use 'equery uses ethereal' and it returns this list: --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: >=openal-20051024 [ Searching for packages matching ethereal... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.13-r1 ] U I - - adns : Adds support for the adns DNS client library + - gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) + + ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6 - - snmp : Adds support for the Simple Network Management Protocol if available + + ssl : Adds support for Secure Socket Layer connections - - kerberos : Adds kerberos support "set: gtk ipv6 and ssl" are all 'in red'. Does this mean they are required? "unset: adns snmp and kerberos" are all in blue. Does this mean they are optional? I have not found documents on this color coding with various gentoo tools. Any documental wisdom on discerning these various color coded words in a terminal session? James -- [email protected] mailing list
