Either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuild. Did you copy the entire PKGDIR heirarchy? It normally looks something like: $PKGDIR/All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2 ... $PKGDIR/dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2 -> ../All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2 If you just copied the 'All' directory, without the symlinks, this could account for the behavior you are seeing. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
