At the very beginning, after selecting profile I emerged gentoolkit, and used it to track down additional dependencies. I put "-unicode" in USE in make.conf and eventually ended up running... emerge -1 readline emerge -1 nano procps util-linux emerge -1 ncurses Note: the order is extremely important. This was just before the point where the manual said to run... emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world ...which emerged 24 items, and would likely have led to more dependencies. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
