Cool, I'm glad we got to the bottom of it. I keep forgetting about --with-bdeps myself. Like you, I usually assume that emerge world will just handle everything, maybe because that was the only way for a very long time. It was several posts before I even remembered that the option exists! I wonder if there isn't a way to get emerge to list build deps that won't be applied. Perhaps something like an extra "l" argument to --with-bdeps that will list them if present, but not apply them. I would find that useful, I like to know what portage won't do as well as what it will do. Anyone know if this info is available and how to get it? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
