 |
|
| I selected no-multilib. Now, how can I install plasma? Plasma and no-multilib are two different profiles. What do? |

kts,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Your profile presets a useful range of USE flags. You can see the difference in Look at the USE setting with different profiles selected.
You will need to add more USE flags into make.conf is all.
The differences between the no-multilib and plasma profiles will be a good start.
A bigger question is which stage3 tarball did you use for the install?
The no-multilib stage3 tarball will not support 32 bit applications.
Choosing the no-multilib profile on other tarballs abandons the 32 bit support provided in the tarballs.
Its a question of both the stage3 tarball and the profile.

You may create a new custom profile which is the sum of both provided profiles.
For example my Gentoo repository is in /var/portage/repos/gentoo while my custom local repository is in /var/portage/repos/fturco. In this case you may create the following files.
1. /var/portage/repos/fturco/profiles/fturco/parent:
| Code: | ../../../gentoo/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma
../../../gentoo/profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib |
2. /var/portage/repos/fturco/profiles/profiles.desc:
| Code: | | amd64 fturco stable |
3. /var/portage/repos/fturco/profiles/repo_name:
Please change the paths according to your system. For example the Gentoo repository may be in /usr/portage instead.
Now you should be able to select your new custom profile with eselect.
The last step is to update @world:
| Code: | | emerge -uDNav @world --with-bdeps=y |

There is no point to a custom profile. That is quite literally the purpose of the USE variable in make.config
