Re: [gentoo-dev] Configure options from an ebuild

[Richard Reich]

The USE file is definately a usefull thing, but I don't have the
./configure options that were used.  I have postgres installed, and set
in the USE var, but gnucash didn't emerge with postgres support.  I took
a peek at the ebuild and there is support in there for postgres.  I may
be hunting down a bug.

Thanks for you help.
