...then there something really bad on my system...

For example:

emerge -Nvp world 

gives beside other things:

[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/imlib2-1.2.1.009  USE="nls zlib -X* -bzip2* \
-doc* -gif* -jpeg* -mmx -mp3 -png* -tiff*" 0 kB

Takeing a look into the file imlib2-1.2.1.009.ebuild I found:
IUSE="X bzip2 gif jpeg mmx mp3 png tiff zlib"

In the manpage of emerge there is mentioned that
"-<flag>" means, that the flag is off.

So...how can imlib2 be installed with all that image formats be
disabled ? I will take responsibility for wrong "*X*" settings but the
rest...



[ebuild R ] systools/meino-0.08 USE="confused* -understanding_at_all" 
mcc
