1: /var/lib/portage/world |

2: The file is in alphabetical order nowadays. The X stuff should be |
| 27 |
at the bottom of the file. Keep in mind tho, if you have a GUI such as |
| 28 |
KDE installed, that will pull the X stuff as a dependency. Things like |
| 29 |
Seamonkey may even pull in some X stuff. After all, don't you have to |
| 30 |
have a GUI for things like Seamonkey to work? |

Not on your list but if you have done a emerge -e world, I'm not real |
| 33 |
sure what this will accomplish. That should have recompiled EVERYTHING |
| 34 |
on your system already. I would be looking for a mailing list for the |
| 35 |
software to see if they know about this issue and have a fix or if they |
| 36 |
can give some ideas or even commands to run to help them fix it. I'm |
| 37 |
not real sure that this is going to help any at all. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
That help? |
