Re: [gentoo-user] equery, make.conf USE flag mismatch on amd64

[Kumar Golap]

Hi again...

The athlon 64 does have mmx as flags ...so that's not an issue

when i do emerge -pv ...it does seem that iits not using mmx

And i have an interesting problem when i do : emerge --info

I get this in my USE flags

USE="amd64 X a52 aalib acpi alsa arts audiofile avi berkdb
bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl directfb dri dvd dvdr eds
emboss encode esd exif expat f77 fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd
gdbm gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imlib
ipv6 java jpeg kde lcms libcaca libg++ libwww lirc lm_sensors lzw
lzw-tiff mad mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl
ogg oggvorbis openal opengl pam pam_console pcre pdflib perl png
python qt quicktime readline recode scanner sdl slang speex spell
sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts
udev usb userlocales v4l vorbis xine xml2 xmms xorg xpm xv zlib
userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc"

which is a different version from what i have in the actual make.conf

 So i wonder if this is cached somewhere and emerge is not reading my
new version of /etc/make.conf
So from where is it generating that USE flags or have i corrupted my
portage tree by any chance ?




regards

Kumar
