If you need it, edit make.conf file and put it in the USE= line. The snmp is this: "snmp - Adds support for the Simple Network Management Protocol if available." You can get the same info from here: /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc >Finally there is anoter flag prefixed by a plus and green coloured >(+scanner*). What does the trailing * mean?

If you changed some flags recently, you may want to do a emerge -Nvp world to see what else has changed. If everything looks OK, take off the p and let it recompile those for you so it will work correctly. Hope that helps. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
