It's masked out of everything but vanilla x86 systems, which I think is what I have in /mnt/gentoo32 (the chroot jail). Using emerge to install gambas brings all sorts of other things, including a duplicate xorg-x11 installation, which seems a bit excessive to me. How do I go about emerging into /mnt/gentoo32 with full X functionality etc, but without all the baggage? Perhaps someone's already done this and can advise me. I don't really understand properly how chroots work, and in particular whether it's possible to install, e.g., gambas in /mnt/gentoo32 and have it use libraries etc. elsewhere. Or do I really have to install a virtually complete gentoo 32-bit system to enable it to work? -- Rgds Peter Humphrey Linux Counter 5290, August 1993. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
