$ emerge --pretend --update --deep world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.57a [2.57-r1]
[blocks B ] media-libs/libquicktime ("virtual/quicktime" from pkg
media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1)
[ebuild N ] media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1
[ebuild U ] app-office/openoffice-1.1.0 [1.0.3-r1] -gnome +kde
there's 3 problems with the above:
this will be about the 15th time i've had to compile autoconf. each time the
above command asks that i install either v2.57a or 2.57-r1. i emerge one,
and suddenly, i have to emerge the other and vice versa. what's going on
here?
libquicktime and openquicktime don't play nice together. i unmerged both and
ran the above command and it said it needed to install both again. here's
the "qpkg -q" output for each package:
$ qpkg -q libquicktime
media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2 *
DEPENDED ON BY:
media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2_pre1
DEPENDED ON BY:
media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2
DEPENDED ON BY:
$ qpkg -q openquicktime
media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1
DEPENDED ON BY:
media-video/transcode-0.6.10
media-libs/openquicktime-1.0
DEPENDED ON BY:
media-video/transcode-0.6.10
so what exactly do i need libquicktime for if it isn't depended on by
anything?
lastly, open office won't compile with the gcc version i'm using (3.3.1-r1).
it says i need gcc-3.2.x but then it says i shouldn't emerge a different gcc:
# emerge openoffice

* This build needs gcc-3.2.x, but due to profile
* settings, it cannot DEPEND on it, so please merge it
* manually:
*
* # ebuild /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.2.1.ebuild merge
*
* Please make sure that you use the latest availible revision of
* gcc-3.2. Thus if there is already a gcc-3.2.1-r2 out, use this
* rather than 3.2.1, etc.
*
* As of writing, gcc-3.2.3-r1 seemed to create the most stable builds.
* Also, because OO is such a complex build, ONLY gcc-3.2.3-r1 will be
* supported!
*
* This process is not highly recomended, as upgrading your compiler
* without upgrading your distribution can be detrimental to your
* installation of gentoo, unless you know what you're getting into
*

any help with any of the above would be extremely helpful.
thanks

we know what combating homelessness looks like. we attack on two fronts. on
one front, for example, we open shelters for the homeless but (since we don't
want them to stay in the shelters) we make them as unwelcoming as possible.
on the other front, we pass anti-camping legislation that criminalizes those
who won't stay in the shelters. this legislation allows (or compels) the
police to harass the homeless, who are out of place, who turn up where we
don't want them to be.
