An entry in my home-made list of un/installed pkgs : 140322 net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r201 [ 22 min : for gimp] The date is when I removed it, having removed Gimp too ; the time is compile+install time when I previously installed it ; the current stable version is 2.2.6 , which mb much more demanding. Generally, old hardware (how old is yours ? ) doesn't play well with the latest versions of popular free software : that's why there are distros designed for old hardware. > Why does webkit-gtk drag in ruby and several ruby gems? > I need them only because of webkit-gtk : I have no other need for ruby. I've never had Ruby installed in this machine, so try juggling flags.
