Wow! I made it! I'm in! Just installed my first Gentoo (Phew!). Its cool! I'm up to part 2 of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook "Working With Gentoo" and I've managed to install a few things, namely vim, links, and xorg-server (As per the Xorg server Configuration Guide) in addition the some essential tools mentioned in the Handbook. I tried to install xfce4-meta (Xfce Configuration Guide)
code: # emerge -avt xfce4-meta ... and was informed that I need to add +jpeg to my USE flags. So I did (minus the plus sign:) Then emerge said some packages are blocking each other. I tried unmerging the blocking packages as per the Handbook. but they don't seem to be installed yet, so that seems to rule out updating them. The Handbook says if two yet to be installed packages are blocking each other I should file a bug report. I don't understand bug reporting yet. I tried updating the system. Code: # emerge --update --deep world ... but I get the same meassage. Can anyone help? Heres my /etc/make.conf # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically # built this stage. # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
