$ equery u qt | grep -i thread <nothing> I assume therefore that qt doesn't have a threads use flag. Also, a better way to specify a use flag than on the command line is in /etc/portage/package.use. If you say `emerge -va blah` you will see the use flags available, and get prompted if you want to continue installing. quicker than `emerge -p blah; emerge blah` HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> Steal my cash, car and TV - but leave the computer! -- Soenke Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
