By 'it' you seem to mean qt? PResumably because the standard USE flags for your profile have it defined. Here's what I'm getting when I emerge qt: lightning ~ # emerge -pv qt These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8 +cups -debug -doc -examples (-firebird) +gif -immqt -immqt-bc +ipv6 +mysql -nas -odbc +opengl -postgres -sqlite -xinerama 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB lightning ~ # You can adjust your usage to be the same as mine by modifying /etc/portage/package.use to get the same flags if you want. That should build.

[ebuild R ] media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.7 +alsa (-altivec) -caps (-coreaudio) -debug -doc +jack-tmpfs (-mmx) -oss -portaudio +sndfile (-sse) 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB lightning ~ # You definately want the jack-tmpfs one turned on. Whether you really want the oss flag I'm not sure. I don't know what that does unless it builds some JAc-oss client. > [ebuild N ] media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std-8.11 3,664 kB > [ebuild N ] app-text/ghostscript-esp-7.07.1-r8 +X -cjk +cups -emacs > +gtk 5,276 kB > [ebuild U ] sys-devel/automake-1.9.6-r1 [1.9.5] 747 kB > [ebuild N ] app-text/poppler-0.5.0-r5 -cairo +jpeg 913 kB > [ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.23-r7 -gnutls -nls +pam -samba -slp > +ssl 8,501 kB > [ebuild N ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8 +cups -debug -doc -examples > -firebird +gif -immqt -immqt-bc -ipv6 -mysql -nas -odbc +opengl > -postgres -sqlite -xinerama 0 kB > [ebuild N ] media-sound/qjackctl-0.2.17 239 kB In your case you may well not want cups. Modify /etc/portage/package.use like this: x11-libs/qt -cups Here's my usage: lightning ~ # emerge -pv qt These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

If yours is only for recording then you probably do not. This will likely reduce the amount of stuff you need to build by quite a lot.
