But before I followed Martin's suggestions, I wanted to try to emerge one more thing that I really can't live without -- gaim. The reason for this is simple: I feel I should be able to emerge gnome apps without actually emerging gnome itself. There might be technical reasons why this could be impossible, but I am 95% sure that it should be possible to compile and use gaim without gnome. So I did: emerge net-im/gaim And what followed was pretty uneventful, except the following bits: --- config.status: creating po/Makefile gaim 0.45 Allow Multiple Connections.. : yes Build Protocol Plugins...... : yes Protocols to link statically : oscar toc Build with GNOME bits....... : yes Use GdkPixbuf for Icons..... : yes Build as GNOME applet....... : yes Build with Plugin support... : yes Build with Perl support..... : yes Use XScreenSaver Extension.. : yes Build with ESD.............. : yes Build with NAS.............. : no Build with ArtsC............ : yes Print debugging messages.... : no Gaim will be installed in /usr/bin. configure complete, now type 'make' --- Ok, here we see that config is totally wrong. I don't want 'GNOME bits' and I don't want to build gaim as 'GNOME applet' as I have no intention of running GNOME (at least not soon). So, it finishes compiling without any errors, and now I have useless /usr/bin/gaim_applet. Obviously if I try to run it, it gives me a corba error, and although I am sure it's pointless, I will cut and paste the error for the sake of completeness: ** WARNING **: file applet-widget.c: line 955: Corba Exception: type = 2 exid = IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 For the sake of completeness, here is my USE variable, as defined in /etc/make.conf: USE="slang readline gpm berkdb gdbm tcpd pam libwww ssl lm_sensors lvm pcmcia-cs alsa nls mmx mitshm esd lcms gif sdl vorbis ogg gnome gtk X qt kde motif opengl mozilla 3dnow perl python tcltk java guile ruby mysql postgres ldap odbc ggi fbcon svga tex bonobo nas qtmt aalib oss arts libg++" How I ended up with these USE flags is very simple. I simply edited the default /etc/make.conf, and in addition to the USE flags already defined there, I have added every single flag from the "Other stable USE flags" section. If my USE flags are wrong, it may be a good idea to either change the rc6 docs, or provide a better default /etc/make.conf, or maybe both? Offtopic: I just noticed something else, KMail fails to invoke ispell. Weird. ispell is there and it is in my PATH. I did start KMail from KDE application launcher instead of my shell, maybe that's the problem? --Leo
