OK. I dug a little deeper and found that rio uses x11-libs/libX11 and x11-libs/libXext as build dependencies. These I think are the correct ones to use and not xauth. This does raise the issue then if the gentoo ebuilds should conditionally use X and not build rio if you do not want rio on a non-gui system. That will of course be an issue for a program specific ebuild system and not for plan9port. EBo --
