[gentoo-user] xattr

[Hinko Kocevar]

Hi,

trying to emerge latest packages on gentoo systems gives up with following attr errors.
I have seen this problems since attr-2.4.39 version, and now it is at attr-2.4.41 and still
does not compile!

/etc/make.conf:
USE="-acl -xattr gtk -kde -qt3 -qt4 -gnome dvd alsa cdr X unicode apache2 \
     mysql php tk -ldap python dbus hal sse sse2 ssse3 jpeg svg \
     png truetype acpi"

I can live witout attr, but how can I force it *not* be built? I've set USE
to -acl and -xattr but it still wants to build attr!?!?!

Thanks,
