Zac Thanks Zac but that didn't do it. When I run (as root), motif-config -l, I get this [1] openmotif-2.2 * so I do (also as root) motif-config -s openmotif-2.2 and I get rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Mrm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/uil': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Xm': Is a directory rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Mrm': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/Mrm/Mrm': File exists rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/uil': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/uil/uil': File exists rm: cannot remove `/usr/include/Xm': Is a directory ln: `/usr/include/Xm/Xm': File exists * /usr/bin/motif-config: New default Profile is: openmotif-2.2 after which I do USE=-nomotif emerge xpdf and in amongs the spillage on the screen I get configure: WARNING: Couldn't find X / Motif -- you will be able to compile pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, pdftoppm, and pdfimages, but not xpdf So obviously something is not right with the openmotif install. Maybe it is this particular version of openmotif as I used to use xpdf all the time without incident. I will have to go through the emerge.log and find out when this version was installed. In the meantime, any other suggestions would be appreciated. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have had xpdf installed for some time but haven't used it for a couple of weeks so don't really know which version caused me the problem...I now notice that the xpdf executable that used to be in /usr/bin no longer exists. snip You need to run motif-config before you merge xpdf with USE=-nomotif.

So does that mean that motif-config needs to be fixed? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
