[gentoo-user] Question re: upgrade to goffice

[CJoeB]

Hi all,

I did an emerge --sync and got told that a few things needed upgrading,
one of them being goffice.  I have gnumeric installed on my system, but
my USE flags include '-gnome'.  I don't want gnome (i.e. the desktop) on
my system!!  gnumeric, gimp and abiword (and yes, I have openoffice.org,
but find gnumeric and abiword more functional for some things) have
always compiled okay with the -gnome USE flag.  However, goffice is
needed by gnumeric and probably the others, but now it doesn't seem to
want to compile and I've removed the 0.2.1 version 'cause it wanted to
put the 0.6.1 version into a new slot and I didn't want both versions on
my system and of course, now I've broken gnumeric and as I said, goffice
doesn't seem to want to compile without gnome (at least that is what I'm
interpreting the  error message to mean.

Why all of a sudden can't I compile goffice without gnome?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,

Colleen

Could you supply the full output of 'emerge -avt goffice' so we can see 
what's pulling in gnome? I also don't have gnome (and -gnome in USE) 
but get different results to you:

nazgul elog # emerge -avt gnumeric abiword goffice

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Thanks, not necessary.  I think I solved it.  I just re-emerged
XML-Parser. and things seem to be okay.

It's hard to see how that relates to your original problem.

Did you have to do the whole expat-upgrade thing at the same time?

No, I guess I misinterpreted the error message.  Tried something that I 
found by doing a google search and it worked.  All I did was to re-emerge

XML-Parser.

Sorry to have bothered the list.

Colleen
