[gentoo-user] mldonkey wants a gui, but I don't want a GUI....

[Amphibian]

emerge mldonkey gives me this:

 * If the compile with gui fails, and you have updated ocaml
 * recently, you may have forgotten that you need to run
 * /usr/portage/dev-lang/ocaml/files/ocaml-rebuild.sh
 * to learn which ebuilds you need to recompile
 * each time you update ocaml to a different version
 * see the ocaml ebuild for details

 * Only one GUI must be chosen! (gtk || gtk2 || oldgtk)


If I run that script, I get this:

Cleaning "dev-ml/lablgl-1.00" "dev-ml/lablgtk-1.2.7" "dev-ml/lablgtk-2.4.0"
Building ">=dev-ml/lablgl-1.00" ">=dev-ml/lablgtk-1.2.7" 
">=dev-ml/lablgtk-2.4.0"

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-ml/lablgl-1.00
[ebuild   R   ] dev-ml/lablgtk-2.4.0

So I remove them, and run the ocaml-rebuild again and it's happy, so I 
emerge mldonkey again and lo!  It installs lablgl and lablgtk, then 
moves on to mldoney and drops out with the same error given above.

Does any one have any ideas?

What USE flags appear in "emerge -pv net-p2p/mldonkey"? I suspect you are
using one or both of gtk and gtk2.

Thanks -- they were both in there, added -gtk to the make.conf and all 
seems well.

However, where do the defaults come from? There is no use.defaults in 
the make.profle folder, even though the wiki 
<http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_USE_Flags#Default_Use_Flags> says that there 
should be.

Should I be explicitly declaring flag or -flag in the make.conf for 
every possible flag?

emerge -pv net-p2p/mldonkey

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-lang/ocaml-3.08.1  -latex +tcltk 2,002 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-ml/lablgl-1.00  -doc +glut +tcltk 381 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-ml/lablgtk-1.2.7  +gnome +opengl 457 kB
[ebuild  N    ] net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.16-r9  +gtk 3,190 kB



 USE="-gtk" emerge -pv net-p2p/mldonkey

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-lang/ocaml-3.08.1  -latex +tcltk 2,002 kB
[ebuild  N    ] net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.16-r9  -gtk 3,190 kB

Total size of downloads: 5,192 kB


Remove the 'gtk' flag from the mldonkey emerge (this is how to do it
just for mldonkey; if you want to do it for everything, edit /etc/make.conf)

 # echo "net-p2p/mldonkey -gtk >>/etc/portage/package.use"

Then run your emerge again (this time with the -v flag, so you can see
the USE flags being used).

HTH,
Holly

Portage uses cascading profiles now, so /etc/make.profile inherits
use.defaults from /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/use.defaults
and /usr/portage/profiles/base/use.defaults.

That would be unworkable as flags are added or removed. It would also
override and changes to the defaults without your knowing why. Get into
the habit of using -av with emerge. You'll son see when you need to make
changes to the flags.

Or even:

echo "net-p2p/mldonkey -gtk" >>/etc/portage/package.use

Indeed. You see, there's the downside of having too many aliases. You
forget how to do things manually (or remember wrong, though I *thought*
one of those quotes was in the wrong place....)

  I prefer to start off USE in /etc/make.conf with "-*", and then
explicitly list the flags I want turned on.  I also control a few
packages with /etc/portage/package.use.  This combines to give me full
control over what's going on...  that's the Gentoo spirit.

You could be adversely affected by missing new flags or when flags change
names. I prefer to explicitly specify the flags I know I do or do not want
and leave the rest to their defaults.

emerge -uavDN world warns me iof there have been any changes affecting
my installed packages.
