Well, thanks to all of you. I've been playing with flags nad seems to do almost what I want. To be the firts time I install gentoo, anyway, things didi not seem s to go the way I wanted, or at least the way I expected to be.
For example, I installed xfce4, following the guide in the handbook, and for some reasons I cannot use a picture as a background, cuz It has not support for it, the same happened to gqview, If I installa a graphic viewer, it' because ai want to se see graphics files :), after intalling gqview, I could not see a single picture, an ldd to gqview shows that it's compiled against cairo and other system libraries, no trace or jpeg, png,. Well, I deinstalled it, add it to the /etc/portage/fie I created, added png, gif, jpeg, tiff and other stuff I related to graphic support I found in /usr/portage/profiles/uses.desc or something like that. Then recomiled it again, now, with gqview I can display png files, and ldd shows it's compiled against lipng, but still cannot see jeg eventhouhgn libjpeg is installed. Well, it seems that to get a funcitonal system, I'm still far from it, d not have too much time to play with it, I need my laptop to wor, so, what's the best way to go,? Do you think I need to reinstall and start from the begining or start reinstalling and stalling again the software? Thanks you guys or your time and support? 2008/4/24, Alan McKinnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Thursday 24 April 2008, KH wrote: > > > and then verify that you're getting what you want before emerging. > > > This way you know your changes will remain the next time you run > > > emerge uD world or update mplayer on its own. > > > > > > kashani > > > > I am really sorry for all this confusion I caused. > > Don't be :-) > > If this list is anything like hundreds of other similar lists on the > net, many many people will be reading this thread and learn something > they didn't know about USE and now know the OneTrueWay(tm) to use > portage. > > You did them all a big favour, they just tend to take note and not > really announce that they too didn't know. > > -- > Alan McKinnon > alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com > > -- > [email protected] mailing list > > -- [email protected] mailing list
