Some people think that's a bug. There are decent arguments either direction. See bugs 19115 and 20093 for some discussion. Now you can have it either way... emerge vim # does not link against X libs USE=vim-with-x emerge vim # links against X, might emerge xfree I left the default to refrain from linking against X because I figure most users aren't hardcore vimmers and aren't going to care. In that case, linking against the X libs is likely to cause them trouble rather than ease it. But for those users that want the support, it's there. Aron -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
