Well, I've had 'gtk in my make.use file since the beginning. When did |
| 10 |
this change or start being an inpediment to installation of ethereal? |
| 11 |
OK, how did you determine this? What did you use to discover this? |
| 12 |
Back some time ago, ethereal started to die off when I'd enter a capture |
| 13 |
session (I posted on this but nobody could help). The work around was |
| 14 |
to edit '~james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc' and comment out line 37: |
| 15 |
#gtk-alternative-button-order = 1 |
| 16 |
But this workaround would not survive logging in/out. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Your fix worked like a charm and now ethereal survives multiple |
| 19 |
capture/caputre-end sessions. |

You are a genius (at least from where I sit)..... |

What syntax did you use to generate this listing? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I can use 'equery uses ethereal' and it returns this list: |

[ Colour Code : set unset ] |
| 34 |
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] |

U I |
| 38 |
- - adns : Adds support for the adns DNS client library |
| 39 |
+ - gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) |
| 40 |
+ + ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6 |
| 41 |
- - snmp : Adds support for the Simple Network Management Protocol if available |
| 42 |
+ + ssl : Adds support for Secure Socket Layer connections |
| 43 |
- - kerberos : Adds kerberos support |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
"set: gtk ipv6 and ssl" are all 'in red'. Does this mean they are required? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
"unset: adns snmp and kerberos" are all in blue. Does this mean |
| 48 |
they are optional? I have not found documents on this color |
| 49 |
coding with various gentoo tools. Any documental wisdom on |
| 50 |
discerning these various color coded words in a terminal session? |
