What do you mean? Unlike many of you, I am not a programmer. The majority of my compiling is done via Portage, so someone else has handled the dependencies issues, if any. Any compiling I do myself is for novelty programs that generally don't require many dependencies, and when they do I've never had much problem. The last program I had to compile myself was Alexandria. My biggest problem with that was figuring out which programs in Portage provided the libraries called for by the Alexandria developers. The most significant dependency issue I've had recently is that K3B requires an older version of transcode in order to be able to rip DVDs. That sucks, since I already have a newer version, and it's being used by other programs. But all I had to do was install the older version. Your Mileage Does Vary, apparently. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
