Other than the thread that Dale offers, have you changed your profile to the |
| 68 |
latest 10.0? This had caught me out and went unmerging/emerging qt to get |
| 69 |
things to work. I think it would have been easier if I had updated my |
| 70 |
make.profile first which has the required default USE flags: |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
$ ls -la /etc/make.profile |
| 73 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Oct 22 10:03 /etc/make.profile -> |
| 74 |
../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop |
| 75 |
|

HTH. |
