Sorry for double-posting, the previous copy of this message has been sent
only to Stroller and not to the gentoo-user mailing list.

First of all, thank you for replying and excuse for the delay.

 Probably, yes, as I have received only this one.

 No, I have emacs, nls and xemacs user flags all unset for this package:

 $ equery uses gtypist
 [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
 [        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
 [ Colors : set, unset                             ]
  * Found these USE flags for app-misc/gtypist-2.9.5:
  U I
  - - emacs  : Add support for GNU Emacs
  - - nls    : Add Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale
utilities)
  - - xemacs : Add support for XEmacs

 I did it, and the ebuild has been unpacked to
 /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/gtypist-2.9.5/work

 Did it in the file
 /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/gtypist-2.9.5/work/gtypist-2.9.5/src/gtypist.c.

 Did it as well, though without understanding why this command should
 take into account the changes I had done  in the file
 /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/gtypist-2.9.5/work/gtypist-2.9.5/src/gtypist.c

 There was nothing in the output from the uncommented line (/encoding
 finds nothing).

 Any further help would be appreciated.
