Ok. I read the tutorial on USE flags, and I thought that I had it down pact. I got some help in another thread on use flags but now it seems that my system is ignoring the flags.

I made sure that I did the following in /etc/make.conf
1. Uncommented USE=""
2. I set my USE flags as follows USE="-X -kde -gnome"

This box is going to be a server and I do not want X loaded on it. I thought that setting those flags would cover all of my bases. It worked on the box that I use as my firewall, so I do not see why it is not working on this box. What do I mean it is not working? Well I did an

emerge --pretend nmap

I can see the it wants to download X-11 libraries. I know that nmap has a GUI version nmapfe. I do not want X. I thought that I specified this in my USE flag.

Any suggestions?

Add -gtk to you USE variable. Try using USE="-X -kde -gnome -gtk" in your /etc/make.conf
