Re: [gentoo-user] [solved] Re: xorg-server upgrading problem
Unmerged all of x11, then installed xorg-server-1.6.5 and it is working now. One of the issues I hit is that python-3.1.1-r1 can not be installed with the tk use flag due to cyclic dependencies when installing xorg (portage insists on installing python before libX11 so python[tk] fails as it is missing Xlib.h). Thanks everyone! Roy

Would this work? emerge python with USE=-tk install libX11 install python with USE=tk -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Would this work? emerge python with USE=-tk install libX11 install python with USE=tk What I did was set python -tk in package.use then finished installing xorg-server, then removed the python -tk from package.use and emerge updated. That worked fine so your example should also work fine. Thank you, Roy
