But, I'm sure there are many other programs on your machine that use that same libpng, and I but those are not having any problems.
What is your output of emerge -Cp libpng?
| Code: | [timmfin@timmfin] ~ $ emerge -Cp libpng
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
media-libs/libpng
selected: 1.2.5-r4 1.0.12-r2
protected: none
omitted: none
>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.
|
On my system both of these files are protected (displayed in emerge --clean -p). |

Did you get it to mount and browse CDs as a user? What does your code look like, I'd love it if you'd post it back in this thread 
Cause that's a major convience that commandline-style linux is missing

Well you will need add something to your /etc/fstab in order to mount as a user.

You guys know a good set of svg icons ??? I found some from freshmeat but they are not that good ...
i did some google search but except the BlueSphere set (which I do not really like) there's nothing else ... |

Hmm yea there are not too many right now, a few other svg icon sets can be found at [url]art.gnome.org[/url], but I don't think it tells you if the set is svg or not. http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/theme.php has some too, but you've already said one of them.
Hopefully more and more will come out, but it will take some time. |

| Well the thing is that svg is a completely different format than png. Pngs (and jpegs, bmps, for that matter) are raster images, basicially just a big pixel array of color data. Svg's on the other hand store shape information. It is easy to take a svg image and render it to a specific size to make a png, but to really make the svg you have to draw it. The good thing about this is that svg's can be resized any way you want and not loose quality, unlike the raster images. |

yea i know ...i've looked at it before. but the problem why i don't install manually from source anymore is because i'm not sure if from source it installs in the same dirs as it does using the ebuild :] ...i would if i knew it's this case, though!!
[ot] hi, skeleton, and thx again for persuading me to use gentoo  [/ot]

| That ebuild's missing a dependency line for gnome-base/librsvg - otherwise it works great. |

if I launch it in .xsession I can not use it to launch yelp (4.3.0 and fluxbox) the other apps work fine |

_SkeLeToN_: Nope nothing was changed. If I edit the code I will always change the version number. Glad things are worked out, It seems like it is not a code issue then.
xlyz: I have fluxbox and X 4.3 as well, and can't launch xterm, probably same problem as yelp. Need to look into that more. It seems like single-click is broken, I will try to get to that this week.
Edit: Well I did a quick fix, single click now works but I didn't really test it that well. I called the new version 5.2.1, but I should have just made a patch. Oh well, next time. |

For best results it's often better to draw the icon from scratch in vector software.
There is software as well for tracing bitmaps to vectors. It's really powerful, but lacking documentation:
| Code: | | emerge -s autotrace frontline |
