I'm new to gentoo and the main reason for coming to gentoo is that I have an extra machine that I'd like to use as a DVR. Thus, I've installed mythtv. In general, the experience has been pleasant. However, I wonder about two things regarding emerge and mythtv's dependencies. The first is that mythtv failed to fully compile the first time because unzip was not installed. Next, is once mythtv finished compiling I tried to fire it up (mythtv-setup) and it was apparent that X was not installed. These are not major "problems," since gentoo seems to be a friendly distro (so far) and emerging unzip and X went/is going just fine. I just found it odd that the mythtv package didn't "make sure" unzip and X were present before it was installed. Thoughts?
