Moving slightly off-topic, it would have been nice if portage had told you that you were trying to use an unsupported USE flag in a more obvious way than the simple yellow 'tcltk%' it currently gives. It's very easy to miss that in the huge mass of detail from emerge world. I'd prefer a more verbose message at the end, where blockers and masking information goes. Such a thing would have saved you much effort. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
