Maybe check the output > of "emerge -DNuvp world", and if that doesn't help, post the output of > emerge --info. Bingo -- the "dev-lang/php -xpm" entry solved the problem. And, as another poster suggested, I apparently did not have -xpm in place at the time that php was built, as --newuse now wants to rebuild it due to the change in that flag. Is there some tool that I should be using, or some additional emerge flag, that would help diagnose a problem like this? I tried masking the packages that were being brought in, to see if that would tell me which package had the dependency that was bringing in the extra stuff, but nothing ever pointed me at php -- virtual/x11-6.8 is as far as it would ever go. I appreciate the help and would like learn from this, and avoid bugging the list if something like this comes up again. Regards, Lance -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
