The X use flag doesn't seem to make any difference. as for what i'm trying to do, i was installing the latest version of the orca screenreader from source, as I wanted a more up-to-date version than that provided by portage. The portage version doesn't depend on wnck but all more recent versions do. If there's no solution then I presume when the next version gets added to portage it'll require all the dependencies which will be rather inconvenient. Hope this clarrifies the situation Alastair -- [email protected] mailing list
