I have basic Gnome libs for Gvim & Epiphany, but it wants 35 deps, incl media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.11 1,826 kB media-libs/libmpeg2-0.4.0b USE="X -sdl" 463 kB media-libs/audiofile-0.2.6-r1 366 kB media-sound/esound-0.2.36-r2 USE="-alsa -debug -ipv6 -tcpd" 362 kB media-video/totem-2.16.4 USE="-a52 -dbus -debug -dvd -ffmpeg -firefox \ -flac -gnome -hal -lirc -mad mpeg nsplugin -nvtv -ogg -theora -vorbis \ -xine xv" 1,778 kB gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner-2.16.2 USE="cdr -debug -dvdr" 699 kB gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.16.1 USE="-debug -ipv6 -mad -ogg -vorbis" 2905 kB I don't have a sound card & have removed all sound software from my box. Whyever would Gedit want sound pkgs or a CD burner ?? It's probably easier for AH to use Kwrite, if he doesn't like Vim: even if he has no KDE pkgs installed, it won't ask for 35 deps ... -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
