Right now, you can't specify USE as an environment variable, it's not really |
8 |
intended for that purpose. You're supposed to use it to tell Portage to |
9 |
enable or disable certain optional functionality on a system-wide basis, so that |
10 |
the ebuilds know whether or not to compile-in optional GNOME support if it |
11 |
is available, for instance. |

Maybe if you can describe the specific problem you're trying to solve, we |
14 |
can help you find a better solution (or create a solution if needed). |
