I looked through the forums for an answer, and I couldn't resolve my current issue. I am new to the portage system and Gentoo, and I am finding it has its advantages and disadvantages. I know my problem is with the configuration, and I am trying to install gnome, and I am having a hard time with resolving the USE flags. here is my current make.conf file as is:
| Quote: |
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

My output here is related to Xorg: BTW I have been over the tutorial for xorg server and I am receiving the same output

* Error: circular dependencies:
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2', 'merge') depends on

* Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
* disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

I just dont know how to resolve dependencies yet with portage. Still a newbie... I choose Gentoo because I really enjoyed my LFS system. Any help with this is appreciated. BTW I have ran all World updates and cleaned --depcleaned.
Thanks |

Try to disable the hal (for xorg-server) or X (for hal) USE flag temporary while emerging xorg (to get rid of the circular dep) then enable it again.

| And don't forget to always (!) run 'emerge -DuNva world' after USE flags. (in these cases only after reenabling it) |

What your suggesting is since there circular dependencies that I should install HAL and X separately? And to disable -X in my USE before I install HAL? I was thinking of installing HAL before my X server.

Read again.
1. Disable the hal flag.
2. emerge xorg
3. reenable the hal flag
4. emerge -DuNva world |

I'm not sure if you want to use ~amd globally if you want Gnome. I still have not gotten Gnome-2.24 working on a ~x86 box, even stable Gnome still has issues.  |

Very good to know... I was hesitant on the ~amd64 flag from the reading the gnome 2.24 thread. Since I already have ran a global update before installing gnome and Hal. I'll remove the global flag.
Thanks for the advice and help |
