44 I should have included that in my original email, of course:
45
46 $ grep USE /etc/make.conf | grep -v "^#"
47 USE="berkdb innodb"
48
49 I have no /usr/portage/package.use
50
51 $ grep USE /etc/make.profile/make.defaults
52 USE="alsa apm arts avi bitmap-fonts cups eds emboss encode fortran foomaticdb
53 gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod
54 motif mp3 mpeg ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pdflib png qt quicktime sdl spell
55 truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis X xml2 xmms xv"
56
57 AHA!
58
59 but the man page for emerge says not to edit /etc/make.profile/make.defaults.
60 How do I get X out of there? If in fact that's the cause of my problem?
