Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to install gnuplot with Cairo but without X.
I can compile cairo without X but when trying to compile gnuplot with the cairo USE flag, it will require X for cairo.

gtk+ hard depends on cairo with the X USE flag enabled, so there is no way around this, except if you can modify gnuplot to not require gtk+.

Hard for me to understand since gnuplot does not have any gtk USE flag and compiles fine without any gtk installed.

Thanks for your answer though.

Looks like the dependency on gtk+ could be dropped. Could you do the following test for me:

$ USE="-cairo" emerge --onlydeps =gnuplot-4.4.2
$ emerge -1 -u cairo pango
Make sure that you (still) don't have gtk+ installed.
$ USE="cairo" emerge --nodeps =gnuplot-4.4.2
Test if it works as expected.

Whoops, one more thing.

How can I make that permanent?
when I want to update world portage tells me to rebuild gnuplot with -cairo.

I've fixed it in CVS. Re-sync in a few hours from now and you should be o.k.

Worked for me without problem.
What does it want to install in your case?
