[gentoo-user] New user: can't emerge Gimp.

[Tek Project]

I've just started my first Gentoo build and am very impressed. However, 
I get the following when trying to emerge Gimp. I don't want to trouble 
the debugging team with what's probably my own inexperience. Can anyone 
suggest what should be the next step?

With thanks
Carl Adams

built_with_use looks in the vdb (/var/db/pkg) for IUSE and USE of python. At 
the time when you installed dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r1 it didn't have a tk USE 
flag in IUSE. It does now. So simply reinstall python and then try again.

# emerge -va1 dev-lang/python

This means you need to remerge python with USE=tk.

# echo "dev-lang/python tk" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge --oneshot dev-lang/python

Then re-merge gimp.

Your other option is to disable the python useflag for gimp, and then
gimp won't care:

# echo "media-gfx/gimp -python" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Ah, my mistake.  Thanks Bo, and apologies to Tek.

Looks like you just need to remerge python (emerge --oneshot python)
to fix.  I almost hate to refer to this ranting bug, but:

Thanks very much for your help, guys:

I remerged python, then again emerged Gimp. The build went smoothly for 
while, but quit after some time with a series of error messages that 
said to submit a full bug report. I've just started to use Mrxvt and 
don't know how to cut and paste from the terminal screen, so I took a 
screenshot and posted it to my website:

Could I ask you to take a look at this and decide what it might mean?

Thanks again,
Carl Adams

Just highlight the text you want to copy, then click the middle mouse 
button in the window you want to paste. Unix-style copy-and-paste :)

As it is written, it is probably a faulty hardware problem.
Try re-emerging. If it dies again *randomly* (i.e. by segfaulting in 
another location), 99% it's a faulty RAM/processor problem.

Aha! Used to know that. Thanks.

Quite right. Redid the job and it came through clean. Very hot weather 
here - may have upset the box, since it's been v reliable so far.

I know it's annoying, but if it's the case, better cooling could save 
your box. Bad cooling harms your components.
