I have that problem also but only sometimes.

Another problem I found was that the gnome-panel frequentlly hangs.

I had all of the mentioned gnome errors, I gave up and tweaked e17 and xfce4(non ebuild), then came back to Gnome and *all* the errors are gone for no particular reason, Hmmm.

This is a dumb question, but how do I emerge gnome-2.1.5?

After I get:
gnome-2.1.5-development-snapshot-gentoo.tar.bz2

untar it to:

portage.local.gtk215

Then what? Do I have to go into every dir and emerge each part?

Thanks for your help.

put a line in your /etc/make.conf file that says

jconover · Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 2:11 pm Post subject:

Ok,

I put PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage.local.gtk215" @ the bottom of /etc/make.conf

emerge -k /usr/portage.local.gtk215/gnome-base/gnome/gnome-2.1.5.ebuild
And get the following:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.1*" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "gnome-extra/yelp-2.1.3" [ebuild])

!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.

Did I try and emerge the wrong thing. How do I get rid of "have been masked"????

Thank you,

:oops:

You could try
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

But check that it only emerges the Gnome packages and not some other unstable things!

Sorry, I don't think I'm very clear with this statement

What I meant was:

Anyone here knows when gtk2/gnome will support the new transparancy in xfree 4.3 (like in directfb)?

heijs · Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 5:27 pm Post subject:

Hmmm... It looks like gst-plugins and gstreamer are masked 'twice'

, once with the ~x86 keyword and once in the /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask file.

So if you comment out these two lines in /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask (with a # before the package names)

Lin_Matt · Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 6:15 pm Post subject:

This is true but, just so you know, this will cause all sorts of problems with anything that relies on gst*. Without some serious work, monkey-media and rhythmbox will not compile. I'm sure there are other packages that have been found, but these are the first two that come to mind.

heijs · Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 6:56 pm Post subject:

So the best way to proceed is to remove the line with gnome-media from the gnome-2.1.5.ebuild file?

I am having problems emerging libgtkhtml-2.1.6, has anyone else had this specific problem? I am using foser's ebuilds...

This has been a slow build, I've been using one of my work p.c.'s to build it so bare with me. As I have been building Gnome-2.1.5 a lot of the files haven't been found so I have to download them to /usr/portage/distfiles and go from there. Now I'm having a problem with "gnome-games" Here's the error:

# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gnome
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 57) gnome-extra/gnome-games-2.1.5 to /
!!! No message digest file found: /usr/portage.local.gtk215/gnome-extra/gnome-games/files/digest-gnome-games-2.1.5
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate a digest.
root@neo justin # ebuild foo.ebuild digest
!!! doebuild: foo.ebuild not found.

Anyone know what that is?

You could try this ;-)

Digest files are the MD5 sums of packages. that is how we verify that the package file is not corrupt.

I think he was looking for a more extensive explanation. Is there a guide or something available, or do the man pages for instance cover everything?
