Of all the ways to do it, this has to be the worst. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Portage has no idea in the future that cairo was emerged with X |
| 10 |
functionality enabled, and it causes vast amounts of problems. Please |
| 11 |
do not advise such a stupid broken solution to someone who is so |
| 12 |
obviously a Gentoo beginner. |

Fabricio, the way to solve your problem is to tell the Gentoo package |
| 15 |
system (portage) to compile cairo with support for X. There are two |
| 16 |
ways: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
a) Tell portage to put X into your USE flags. The gentoo install docs |
| 19 |
describe this in detail so I won't repeat it here, except to say that |
| 20 |
you include the phrase "X" in the USE statement in /etc/make.conf |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
b) You can enable this flag just for the cairo package by adding this |
| 23 |
line to the end of /etc/portage/package.use: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
x11-libs/cairo X |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Next time your emerge cairo, it will include X support for cairo and |
| 28 |
this problem will go away. Obviously there is a whole lot to know about |
| 29 |
this, so you really really really need to go and read the Gentoo |
| 30 |
install docs and understand them all. You need to do it right now, OK?> |
