[gentoo-user] emerge wvdial issues

Hi all,

emerge wvdial conked out at

I did a emerge -pv expecting to see shared-mime-info
at the top of the list. But it wasn't so I just re-ran
emerge wvdial. This time it balked at

This time xkeyboard-config was at the top of the -pv
list and another try at emerge wvdial failed at the
same spot.

What to do? Guess I need a parser perl module. Or?
perl-5.8.8-r1 is *already* installed according to
emerge -pv perl.

And one more question: Why does emerge wvdial insist
on installing all this X stuff? More than 90 Megs!
What does my serial port hardware care if I can look
at an xterm or not?

I tried USE="-X" but it just ignored me :^(

One thing you can try is perl-cleaner.

Did you upgrade expat to v2.0? If yes then have a look here

Do,

# emerge -Dv dev-perl/XML-Parser

And call it a day

  Sigh, a bunch of ex-Windows, X Window developers, who can't go to the
bathroom without a pointey-clickey-touchie-feelie-oowey-gui.  I suggest
that you "emerge pppconfig" instead.  That's what I use along with pon
and poff.

I have used that before too and it works well.  Wvdial gave me fits. 
Why in the world does a CL dialer need a GUI?

Me confused.  Back to cleaning house.  *_*

perl-cleaner did the trick as far as emerge wvdial is
concerned, thanks for the link folks.

yes, I always used pppconfig to setup my dialup until
I ran into troubles with the 2.6.16 kernel setup.
Seems dialup is now configured in /etc/conf.d/net,
although this seems to conflict with the provider
file. I mean, do you edit net.example to reflect the
provider file provided by pppconfig, or do you try to 
avoid redundancy? Neither file seems aware of the
other's existence. Strange.

Another thing: even though the docs and mans mention
/dev/ttyS0 no such device is on my 2.6.16 box! In the
net file it says: link_ppp0="/dev/ttyS0". But when the
computer boots the console starts ppp0 then gives the
error: link_ppp0 does not exist. So I made one with

mknod /dev/ttyS0 c 4 64

but it didn't help. The same error appeared on the
next boot.

Yes, /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 is a sym-link to net.lo.

Yes, I have compiled every conceivable serial port
option into the kernel. Do I really need support for
some fancy joy-stick(CONFIG_SERIO_CT82C710) to get my
modem to work?

I know my serial port works because I can dialout
using the installCD provided I first copy over
/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/chatscripts/*, /etc/ppp/*,
/etc/ppp/peers/*. Even after chrooting I can dial out.
