I was using "/path/to/" as a placeholder for the *actual* path for xrdb. You'll have to use tools like which or find or slocate to find exactly what that path is, and then substitute it in. For example, on my system (monster): monster ~ # which xrdb /usr/bin/xrdb monster ~ # equery b /usr/bin/xrdb [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/xrdb in *... ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 (/usr/bin/xrdb) Luckily, xrdb was in my path, otherwise which wouldn't have found it, and I would have had to use slocate or find. My guess is that the same package will provide this binary on your system, but you should go ahead and do the which + equery, just to make sure. x11-apps/xrdb is probably for the new, version 7, split xorg. Also, to assume you I don't have x11-apss/xrdb installed: monster ~ # eix -c xrdb [N] app-emacs/xrdb-mode (): An Emacs major mode for editing X resource database files [N] x11-apps/xrdb (): X.Org xrdb application Found 2 matches -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.com ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
