 Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 9:37 am Post subject: Cannot view images (JPEGs) in Gnome [Solved] |
 |
|
Hi all,
My First time posting in a Gentoo forum. I've recently decided to give Gentoo a go and so far it's been pretty good however I'm stuck on a couple of basic points.
My main concern at the moment is that I can't view JPEGs in Gnome. I've emerged gnome-light so I'm not sure if that could be the problem. I've installed eog (eye of gnome) gthumb and gqview (checking the USE flags and setting USE="jpeg jpg" for each) but none of them let me view JPEGs. Ironically I can view them through Firefox.
I've searched the forums but no luck. I'm guessing I may have to re-merge gnome-light with a USE flag but I really don't want to have to go through waiting for this to do a complete recompile. Is there a way to re-emerge a package for an additonal feature without running the whole process again?
Thanks,
Mike

| Code: | | emerge -avuDN <package-name> |
would do the trick ( N stands for --newuse, so only the packages affected by the new use flags in /etc/make.conf or given by USE="" in front off the emerge command will be re-emerged.
Check eog to see if the jpeg use flag is set, if not try remerging that package with that flag enabled
| Code: | | equery u eog #check if the use flag is enabled |

Try the lcms USE flag.
Just a stab in the dark.

thanks guys, I'd already started the following by the time I received your posts - and it's fixed it anyway:
| Code: | | USE="jpeg" emerge gtk+ |
Seems I didn't compile the toolkit with jpeg support I guess. Thanks for your quick responses.
