Yick. No no no. DEPEND lists the things that are needed to install a package from source (or an upstream-provided binary, or whatever). RDEPEND lists the things that are needed to use a package once it is installed. Part of 'using' a library is compiling things against it. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
